Run your privacy program from one place: a posture score by department and regulation, every open issue linked straight to its fix, assessments with owners and due dates, and a RoPA, vendor register and retention schedule that stay current. ComplyIQ keeps the records, and DashboardIQ gives each role its own view. ConsultIQ drafts the policies and board presentations.
Privacy Program Management Challenges
A privacy program is a set of records that must stay true, and the people who keep them true. The records include the RoPA, DPIAs, vendor contracts, retention schedules and notices, and each one changes whenever the business does.
Kept in documents and spreadsheets, these records fall behind quickly. Leadership asks how compliant the organization is and gets a different answer from each team, and the real state of the program becomes clear only at audit time.
No single answer on posture
Each team reports compliance its own way, so leadership cannot compare departments or regulations.
Gaps without owners
Gaps are found without an owner or a due date to close them.
Unapproved RoPA changes
Records change without sign-off, so no one knows which version is current.
Retention unchecked
Retention periods set for each activity are never compared with what applications and data stores are set to keep.
