Live Data Map Overview

DataGrail's Live Data Map Product provides a comprehensive and dynamic view of the privacy risk in your systems. Your privacy team will use Live Data Map to:

• Review how many and which systems contain Personally Identifiable Information (“PII”) that must be disclosed or deleted as part of data privacy requests according to regulations such as GDPR and CCPA.
• Proactively detect "Shadow IT" or systems containing personal data that may have never gone through an accurate security or privacy review.
• See which apps are processing sensitive personal information, utilizing AI, and more, so you can prioritize privacy efforts.
• Prepare a Record of Processing Activities (RoPA), required as a living document for GDPR compliance.

Live Data Map also supports Responsible Data Discovery (“RDD”) for integrated third-party SaaS applications. Depending on your DataGrail agreement, your team may also have access to RDD for on-premises or first-party data sources. Contact your Customer Success Manager for more information on what's included in your Live Data Map plan.

Live Data Map Users

The following User Roles have access to the Live Data Map product:

Live Data Map Admin

The Live Data Map Admin role allows users to complete any action associated with Live Data Map, including the functions of the Inventory Manager. LDM Admins can also add and remove systems, categorize systems, and edit the configuration of the exports.

Inventory Manager

The Inventory Manager role grants users the ability to manage and export Inventory System Reports. Inventory Managers may be assigned specific systems or have access to all systems for an organization.

Implementation Summary

To begin using Live Data Map for visualization and analysis of high risk systems, you will need to populate the System Inventory.

DataGrail provides three methods to populate your System Inventory:

1. System Detection: DataGrail integrates with popular SAML/SSO providers (i.e. Salesforce, Okta, Google Apps) to identify third-party systems within your organization. We utilize our extensive internal systems network as well as external third-party app catalogues like G2 to provided automated results you can trust.

2. Manual System Entry: For systems that cannot be identified through supported integrations or that are isolated within your tech stack, they can be added to your inventory manually. With manual system entry, reports can be generated for any system, regardless of their visibility or relation to other integrated systems.

3. Responsible Data Discovery (RDD): To perform Data Classification, DataGrail utilizes a containerized API agent to locate and identify structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data in your systems.

Live Data Map Features

System Inventory

The System Inventory allows you to have a comprehensive view of systems within your organization, what personal data they process, and the inherent risk associated with each. Our goal is to help you understand where privacy risk lives across your systems through ongoing system detection, surfacing PII risk and allowing you to capture the measures in place to manage that risk.

System Profile

The System Profile Page (previously Inventory System Reports) is a home base for systems, where you can leverage a variety of capabilities including managing business processes and use cases, risk assessments, and more!

• Leverage DataGrail's Instant Risk Classification to quickly understand whether a system processes sensitive personal data or has AI usage.
• Manage high-risk systems by capturing the associated Business Processes, use case, owners and more!
• Generate Risk Assessments on high-risk systems to proactively identify and mitigate risks.

Data Classification

Responsible Data Discovery ("RDD") takes system detection a few steps further, revealing the presence of PII in your systems while operating within the strictest security guidelines.

Purpose-built data models and abstracted machine learning allow DataGrail to identify and report on sensitive data without ever surfacing or transmitting the sensitive details.
