Privacy assessments that rules decide and people approve.
Record processing activities and run PIAs and DPIAs under versioned methodologies for EU GDPR, UK GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, India's DPDP Act and HIPAA. Rules decide screening and requirement status, and AI helps you capture the facts.
| Activity | Assessment | Residual risk | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Payroll processing | DPIA v2 | Medium | Approved |
| Patient portal analytics | DPIA v1 | High | Review |
| Marketing CRM | PIA screening | Low | Approved |
| AI support chatbot | DPIA v1 | High | Draft |

What Privacy Impact Assessment does
Each assessment runs under a versioned methodology: EU GDPR DPIA, UK GDPR DPIA, California CCPA/CPRA risk assessment, India DPDP Act DPIA, HIPAA privacy and security risk analysis, or an internal PIA. Screening is rule-based and cites the legal source of each trigger. The questionnaire adapts, asking extra questions only when relevant, for example about AI, biometrics, children, health or cross-border transfers. Requirement status comes from your answers, never from AI. Risks to individuals become draft risks in the Risk Register, and unmet requirements can raise findings.
Privacy Intelligence helps you capture facts quickly. Describe a project in plain words, or extract from documents including scanned ones read by local OCR, and every identified fact keeps its source and confidence until a person accepts it. Submitted versions are locked and reviewed exactly as submitted. Strict separation of duties applies, and legal blockers can't be overridden. Approved assessments are never rewritten: changes to vendors, data, countries or AI use raise reassessment proposals.
Key capabilities
Versioned methodologies
EU GDPR, UK GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, DPDP Act, HIPAA and internal PIA.
Rule-based screening
Required, recommended or not required, with the legal source of each trigger.
Adaptive questionnaire
Extra modules only when relevant, each explaining why it is asked.
Privacy Intelligence
Describe a project or extract from documents; every fact has provenance.
Governed review
Locked submissions, SoD, non-overridable blockers and reports from snapshots.
Continuous reassessment
Vendor, sub-processor, country, data and AI changes raise proposals.
The business case.
Efficiency, multi-framework alignment, reduced complexity and streamlined processes: what Privacy Impact Assessment changes for your programme.
Less assessment effort
Fact capture, document extraction and rule-based requirements remove most manual drafting.
Defensible DPIAs
Every decision is rule-based, sourced and reviewed against the exact submitted version.
Change-triggered
Processing changes raise reassessment proposals instead of going unnoticed.
One process
Run multiple jurisdictions' assessments the same way.
Efficiency figures compare the effort of each workflow cycle in RiskVantis with the same work done manually or in a traditional GRC tool. Your result depends on your starting point; we will model it with you in a demo.
From setup to outcome.
Describe
Record the processing activity, or describe the project in plain words.
Screen
Rules decide whether a PIA or DPIA is needed.
Assess
Answer the adaptive questionnaire and accept identified facts.
Review and decide
Independent review, a decision and monitoring for change.
Supports your obligations.
Privacy Impact Assessment contributes evidence and coverage to these frameworks and regulations.
Common questions.
Is the output legal advice?
No. Applicability and requirement status come from rules, and reports carry a not-legal-advice notice. Your privacy and legal teams record their own view.
Does AI decide whether a DPIA is required?
No. Screening and requirement status are rule-based. AI only proposes facts, which a person accepts or rejects.
Are confidential documents sent to AI?
Documents classified Restricted are never sent to an AI provider, and scanned documents are read by local OCR on the server.
Works better together.
