PKWARE clients can use the TrustArc privacy automation technology to simplify privacy compliance worldwide by leveraging their DG Discovery data.

"DG Discovery assists our customers who were looking for an accessible solution for automating end-to-end privacy management," said Chris Babel, CEO, TrustArc. "It provides organizations with the opportunity to enhance their privacy management and more deeply harness the power of their data, through data discovery, data mapping and individual rights management."

The Gemological Institute of America (GIA), which employs PKWARE Discovery to protect sensitive data through its settings, has immediately understood the benefits of a product.

"Privacy management is a priority across our organization," said Yvette Wilson, Director, Data Privacy at GIA. "DG Discovery will give our teams the control they need to safely protect our data to further our mission to protect consumers."

The partnership allows TrustArc and PKWARE clients to complete DSARs, which are requests from data subjects for how a company will use their data. Data elements and personally identifiable information (PII) will be entered automatically by the DG Discovery platform.

"Data lives in many different locations that organizations may or may not be aware of. DG Discovery is able to find that information, creating metadata and PII, preventing critical errors in the process and saving users countless hours each month," said JT Sison, SVP of Global Partnerships, PKWARE. "As privacy regulations continue to become more complex in the U.S. and across the globe, harnessing a tool like DG Discovery will soon become standard practice."
