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.

  • Question : What happens to the system once I remove it from the system inventory list?

    • Answer : If the system was detected by another third party system, it will populate in the “Add New System” dropdown under “Detected Systems” (as shown in the image below), otherwise, it will show under “Third Party Systems”.
  • Question : What should I do if no results are found when I search for a Third Party System in the Add New System dropdown?

    • Answer : If you’ve searched for a Third Party System in the dropdown, first double check that the system has not already been added to your system inventory. If it hasn’t, you can reach out to your dedicated CSM with the third party system name and domain. We will work to get that system available for you to add.
