How It Works

  1. 1

    Ingest Your Vendor Agreements

    Upload existing DPAs via document import or connect your contract management system. TruePrivacy's AI parser extracts key terms, dates, and obligations automatically.

  2. 2

    Score and Classify Each Vendor

    Each vendor receives a risk score based on data categories processed, volume, transfer locations, security certifications held, and history of incidents.

  3. 3

    Monitor for Gaps and Expirations

    Continuous monitoring tracks DPA expiry dates, missing SCC modules, sub-processor notification failures, and security obligation gaps with automated alerts.

  4. 4

    Remediate with Templates and Workflows

    Use TruePrivacy's DPA template library to issue updated agreements, negotiate missing clauses, and track vendor execution — all within the platform.

Benefits

No Expired DPAs

Automated renewal alerts sent 90, 60, and 30 days before expiry ensure no processor agreement lapses. Lapsed DPAs are a direct GDPR Article 28 violation.

See your entire third-party data processing ecosystem in one place, ranked by risk. Know which vendors have access to sensitive categories and where data is transferred.

SCC Compliance at Scale

Automatically verify that the correct 2021 SCC modules are in place for each vendor relationship type, with gap analysis for any missing clauses.

A pre-populated DPA template library and automated questionnaire workflows cut vendor onboarding time from weeks to days.
