Microsoft has expanded its Priva suite of privacy tools to help organizations comply with regulations and take control of personal data.
The tech giant explained in a blog post that the new automations and integrations will “help organizations adapt to privacy requirements related to personal data.”
Several new automation features are now in public preview, including creating privacy policy ratings, fulfilling subject rights requests, and tracker scanning.
Automate privacy management
Microsoft says that “people’s awareness of data privacy has risen to an unprecedented level,” which makes it “more important to protect personal information from unauthorized intrusion and establish ways for people to control their personal data.” “There is a growing demand for it,” he said.
The company believes that by using stronger privacy tools, organizations can improve their cybersecurity while increasing the level of trust from their customers.
Microsoft Priva Privacy Assessments are designed to be at the heart of your company’s privacy policy, automating the management of your personal data usage. You can create custom assessments to evaluate this usage across your data assets.
You can also create a risk framework based on the information about the use of personal data that emerges from these assessments. You can also define policies and automate risk mitigation with Privacy Risk Management.
The Priva Tracker Scanning feature automatically detects trackers such as cookies, pixels, and beacons across your organization’s websites, allowing you to address potential issues such as non-compliant trackers.
There’s also the Priva Consent Management tool, which allows companies to quickly create consent models from templates and roll them out at scale across multiple geographies.
Microsoft claims that Priva Subjects Rights Requests is a “next-generation privacy solution that enables organizations to automate the fulfillment of subject rights requests across on-premises, hybrid, and multicloud environments.”
It works in popular cloud environments such as Microsoft’s own Azure and 365 platforms, AWS, and Google Cloud Platform.
