The Internal Systems API specification defines how to build consistent, scalable, and secure REST APIs for any organization's internal system, like databases, data warehouses, unstructured data stores, or homegrown applications, in order to provide an interface with the DataGrail Platform to process privacy requests.
Authentication credentials must be securely stored in a supported credentials management provider and programmatically accessible to the Request Manager Agent.
Environment variables defined within the container enable dynamic configuration of all Request Manager Agent properties and operations.
The Request Manager Agent uses environment variables to configure its runtime behavior and connections. You'll need to set variables for your DataGrail domain, Agent API Key, credentials manager provider, and optionally cloud storage for handling sensitive data. This page documents all required and optional environment variables, including cloud provider credentials for local development.
For many modern businesses, internal data systems are large repositories of sensitive personally identifiable information (PII). To process growing volumes of Data Subject Requests (DSR), companies must interact with every data system containing PII the organization uses, regardless of the storage medium.
