Overview

Workday HCM is the enterprise standard for HR, payroll, and workforce management, storing highly sensitive employee personal data at scale. TruePrivacy integrates with Workday via a dedicated service account to discover employee personal data across workers, compensation, benefits, and recruiting modules, and to manage data subject requests for employee records.

For large enterprises using Workday, this integration is a cornerstone of the employee data privacy programme — providing automated discovery and DSR fulfillment across Workday's comprehensive employee data model.
