Data Rights Automation

Automate data rights fulfillment from access to deletion, at any scale.

BigID automates the full DSR lifecycle: intake, identity verification, data location, fulfillment, and response, whether the request is for access, deletion, or modification. BigID automatically locates all relevant data across structured and unstructured data, routes tasks to the right data owners, and generates audit-ready records of every action taken.

Reduce DSR response times from weeks to hours. Maintain compliance with GDPR Article 15–17, CPRA, LGPD, and other global data rights regulations, without adding headcount to your privacy team.

Consent Governance

Take control of consent and preference management with BigID’s centralized consent governance.

BigID’s consent governance capabilities automatically discover where consent records live across all of your data sources, enforce consent policies at the data level, and maintain a complete, auditable trail of consent status for every data subject.

Ensure that marketing, analytics, and data-sharing practices stay aligned with evolving consent requirements under GDPR, CPRA, and other frameworks, without relying on manual consent audits.

Records of Processing Activities (RoPA)

Simplify regulatory reporting with automated, always up-to-date RoPAs.

BigID discovers and maps data flows across systems, processes, and vendors automatically, building a centralized, continuously updated inventory of all processing activities. Gain visibility into who is using personal data, for what purpose, under what legal basis, and where it is stored, so you can demonstrate compliance with GDPR, CPRA, and other privacy regulations on demand.

Privacy Impact Assessment

Quickly assess privacy risk for new projects, vendors, and data initiatives.

Privacy impact assessments (PIAs) and data protection impact assessments (DPIAs) are required under GDPR Article 35 for processing activities that pose high risk,

BigID automates PIA and DPIA workflows with built-in templates aligned to GDPR, CPRA, and other regulatory frameworks. Risk scoring, stakeholder approvals, and remediation tracking are integrated into a single workflow, enabling faster compliance sign-offs and reducing operational friction without sacrificing accuracy or oversight.

FAQ:

What is privacy automation? Privacy automation is the use of technology to streamline and scale privacy operations, including data discovery, data subject request (DSR) fulfillment, consent management, records of processing activities (RoPA), and privacy impact assessments. Instead of relying on manual processes and spreadsheets, organizations use privacy automation platforms like BigID to reduce response times, maintain continuous compliance, and scale their privacy programs without proportionally increasing headcount.

How does BigID automate data subject requests (DSRs)? BigID automates the full DSR lifecycle: intake, identity verification, data location across all sources, fulfillment (access, deletion, rectification, portability), and audit-ready response documentation. The platform automatically locates all relevant personal data across structured and unstructured sources, routes fulfillment tasks to the right data owners, and generates compliance records. This reduces DSR response times from weeks to hours while maintaining compliance with GDPR, CPRA, LGPD, and other global data rights regulations.

What is consent governance and why does it matter? Consent governance is the practice of managing, enforcing, and auditing consent and preference records across an organization’s data estate. It matters because consent is a foundational legal basis for data processing under GDPR, CPRA, and other privacy regulations, and mismanaged consent creates compliance risk, regulatory penalties, and loss of customer trust. BigID’s consent governance capabilities automatically discover consent records, enforce policies at the data level, and maintain auditable trails of consent status.

What is a Record of Processing Activities (RoPA) and does BigID generate them? A Record of Processing Activities (RoPA) is a documented inventory of all personal data processing activities within an organization, required under GDPR Article 30. It must detail what personal data is processed, for what purpose, under what legal basis, who has access, and how long it is retained. BigID generates and maintains RoPAs automatically by discovering and mapping data flows across systems, processes, and vendors in real time, eliminating the need for manual surveys and ensuring your records are always current.

What regulations does BigID help with for privacy compliance? BigID supports privacy compliance across a broad range of global regulations including GDPR, CPRA/CCPA, LGPD, HIPAA, DORA, the EU AI Act, PDPA, and dozens of other national and regional privacy laws. BigID’s regulatory templates, automated data mapping, and compliance reporting capabilities help organizations demonstrate accountability and respond to regulatory inquiries with audit-ready documentation.

What is a privacy impact assessment (PIA) and when is it required?
A privacy impact assessment (PIA), also called a data protection impact assessment (DPIA) under GDPR, is a structured process for identifying and mitigating privacy risks associated with data processing activities. GDPR Article 35 requires DPIAs for processing that is likely to result in high risk to individuals’ rights and freedoms, including large-scale profiling, systematic monitoring, and processing of sensitive data categories. BigID automates PIA/DPIA workflows with built-in templates, risk scoring, approval routing, and remediation tracking.
