The Best GDPR Tools and Software for Compliance

Egnyte

Egnyte provides GDPR compliance by locating, controlling and securing the personally identifiable information of EU residents stored in on-prem or cloud repositories. The platform does not require hardware, infrastructure, special IT skills, or professional services. Egnyte finds patterns of sensitive information within your content and detects region-specific identifiers for each pattern across all EU member states.

OneTrust

OneTrust (formerly Integris Software) provides organizations with the ability to build a picture of their PI across all data sources and types and then map that data back to regulations, contracts, and internal use policies. Users can design privacy policies using the vendor’s graphical policy editor, as well as identify which data elements are in each system in the event of a data breach or to manage data subject access requests. Integris also includes a feature for scanning data flowing in and out of data lakes, as well as data retention and classification enforcement.

Snow Software

Snow GDPR Risk Assessment provides device, user, and application visibility across on-prem, cloud, and mobile. The tools are augmented with GDPR-specific risk assessments as well, and the company will help you to build an effective plan and response. An automated discovery feature provides a detailed accounting of which users have access to which applications and cloud services and how they are used.
