How It Works

  1. 1

    Connect Your Systems

    Integrate TruePrivacy with your SaaS tools, databases, and internal applications using pre-built connectors or the open API. No data is copied — TruePrivacy reads metadata only.

  2. 2

    Auto-Discover Processing Activities

    The platform scans connected systems and automatically identifies processing activities, data categories, data subjects, retention periods, and recipient categories.

  3. 3

    AI Maps Activities to RoPA Fields

    AI-assisted mapping populates the required GDPR Article 30 fields, suggests legal bases, and flags activities that require DPIAs or additional documentation.

  4. 4

    Export Audit-Ready RoPA

    Generate your RoPA in PDF, Excel, or machine-readable JSON at any time. The document is formatted to meet regulator expectations and includes a version history.

Benefits

Always Audit-Ready

Your RoPA is continuously updated as systems are added or changed — no more scrambling to compile documentation when a regulator requests it.

Auto-Updated in Real Time

When your team connects a new tool or changes how data is processed, TruePrivacy detects the change and updates the relevant RoPA entries automatically.

Multi-Jurisdiction Support

Maintain separate RoPA views for GDPR, DPDP Act, and ISO 27701 obligations. Each jurisdiction gets a tailored document without duplicating effort.

AI-Assisted Accuracy

AI recommendations reduce the manual burden of classifying data categories and mapping legal bases, cutting initial RoPA setup from months to under 30 minutes.
