Bringing Order, Consistency, and Intelligence to Privacy Assessments
Privacy assessments are critical — PIAs, DPIAs, vendor assessments, RoPAs, business process mapping.
But in most organizations, they’re also messy: spreadsheets everywhere, inconsistent templates, scattered documentation, and a scramble when auditors come knocking.
Before we modernized them, we faced the same challenges internally.
In Episode 4, Heather Kuhn, Senior Privacy Counsel, shares how BigID built a connected, automated assessment framework that reduces overhead, eliminates duplication, and keeps everything up-to-date as the business changes.
This episode is all about taking one of privacy’s most painful workflows and making it structured, scalable, and sustainable.
What We Uncovered
As we replaced spreadsheets with automated workflows, we uncovered:
- How much time teams spent collecting information instead of assessing risk
- How differently departments interpreted templates and requirements
- How challenging it was to maintain version control across assessments
- How linking assessments to discovered data improved accuracy
- How much repeat effort was eliminated once processes lived in a central system
It wasn’t just about making assessments faster — it was about making them meaningful, consistent, and always ready for review.
What You’ll See (Without Spoilers)
Episode 4 gives you a closer look at:
- How assessments run as structured, trackable workflows
- How PIAs, DPIAs, vendor reviews, and RoPAs become part of one unified process
- How dynamic questionnaires adapt to context automatically
- How business process mapping keeps documentation up-to-date
- How audit readiness becomes a byproduct of automation
If you’ve ever wished assessments felt less like paperwork and more like real governance, this episode shows how that shift happens.
