The company: DataGrail 
DataGrail is a privacy platform that simplifies compliance with GDPR, CCPA, and similar privacy regulations. In this Age of Privacy, DataGrail is helping companies stay in line with regulators while building trust with their customers by driving new standards of transparency and accountability. 

DataGrail was built on the principles of diversity and inclusion from the very beginning. About 40% of the company is female (a percentage which has never been below 30%), 50% of the board members are female, and 11% of employees identify as LGBT+ or gender non-binary. Read more about DataGrail’s commitment to supporting workplace diversity in their recent blog post.

Why you should pay attention 
The rapid-fire expansion in privacy regulations combined with the dramatic explosion in data collection is creating major turbulence for businesses. The average enterprise has 88 different systems that could contain personal data, and Gartner predicts that by 2023, 63% of the planet’s population will have GDPR-like personal data protection (up from 10% today). Yet DataGrail’s recent consumer survey shows 83% of Americans expect to have control of how businesses manage their data. Companies clearly need help navigating this landscape, and DataGrail is leading the way.

The details 
The issue is clear: privacy is a fundamental human right and essential to democracy. So in 2018, Daniel Barber, Earl Hathaway, and Ignacio Zendejas launched a business built on this covenant of trust. With 200+ pre-built connectors, the DataGrail Privacy Platform gives a 360-degree, real-time view of the applications a business uses, then maps personal data associated with each of those systems. Customers can manage their privacy request workflows and email preferences across applications.

Building trust through transparency. Taking complicated out of compliance. DataGrail is changing the game.  

How it works
At the core of the solution is DataGrail’s Live Data Map, which provides a continually refreshed blueprint of where data lives in the organization. Any changes made to the systems are reflected automatically. Privacy requests are streamlined, eliminating human errors and reducing risk. And DataGrail’s hundreds of pre-built integrations (Salesforce, Adobe, Oracle, AWS, and more) streamline the onboarding process, making data discovery almost instantaneous. This makes sure companies not only achieve compliance, but are continuously compliant over time as regulations change externally, and business systems, fields, and owners change internally.

Why we’re obsessed 
Today trust is a currency, and DataGrail is here to help companies grow and manage this business-critical resource. DataGrail clients like Overstock.com, Restoration Hardware, Revolve, Databricks, and more rave about how the company helps them manage data privacy risk and compliance (simplicity, automation, and real-time insights are the common refrains). By taking on the complexity of the continually shifting regulatory landscape, DataGrail is simplifying compliance and helping its clients stay ahead of the curve.
