Section 1
Data inventory creation Uses AI-assisted record creation, bulk record creation, Record Exchange, business process forms, and integrations to create and update records for systems, vendors, affiliates, and business processes. Reduces manual setup and makes it easier to build a living inventory instead of maintaining static spreadsheets. Generates interactive data flow maps, transfer maps, and relationship views across business processes, systems, vendors, and entities. Gives privacy teams a clearer picture of how personal data moves, where it is shared, and where obligations or risk may sit. Discovery-to-inventory workflows Ingests inputs from website-based third-party discovery, integrations, and third-party discovery tools into inventory and risk workflows. TrustArc also supports AI-assisted record creation and Record Exchange to accelerate inventory population. Discovery data becomes useful

only when it is linked to processing context, ownership, and privacy obligations. Automatically calculates data processing, data transfer, and AI risk across records based on factors such as data sensitivity, processing purpose, geography, and AI usage. Helps teams identify which activities need deeper review instead of treating all records as equal. Assessment handoff Recommends assessments based on calculated risk and supports linked assessments so control effectiveness can inform residual risk. Assessment execution happens in Assessment Manager. Connects risk identification to follow-up action without pretending the inventory itself is the full remediation workflow. Article 30 reporting Produces configurable GDPR Article 30 reports, including controller and processor outputs, with data flow and map options. Turns inventory and mapping work into regulator-ready documentation

when teams need to demonstrate compliance. Vendor and third-party context Tracks third parties, links them to business processes and systems, supports role management, and surfaces third-party risk in context. Gives a more useful privacy view than a flat vendor list because risk depends on what data is involved and how it is processed. Supports revalidation schedules, notifications, audit trails, configurable exports, filtering, and record updates through integrations. Helps teams keep records current as systems, vendors, and processing activities change.
