The partnership lets joint customers of TrustArc and PKWARE fulfill DSARs, which involve data subjects requesting information from a company on how it will use their data. DG Discovery platform will automate entry of data elements and personally identifiable information (PII) metadata.

DG Discovery is able to find that information, creating metadata and PII, preventing critical errors in the process and saving users countless hours each month,” said JT Sison, SVP of Global Partnerships, PKWARE. “As privacy regulations continue to become more complex in the U.S. and across the globe, harnessing a tool like DG Discovery will soon become standard practice.”
