Privacy demands have officially outpaced human capacity. If you’re leading privacy in 2026, this isn’t a surprise. Your data footprint keeps expanding, new regulations keep coming, and the expectation that your team will just handle it—accurately and continuously—keeps rising.
Constantly hiring more people isn’t sustainable. And trying to update your program by bolting on an AI tool with no context and no governance isn’t just a headache, it’s a liability.
Privacy teams need scalable AI tools they can trust. Today, we’re proud to announce Vera, the first complete AI agent purpose-built for privacy operations.
What Makes Vera Different
Most AI tools don’t belong anywhere near your production privacy program. Standalone tools lack the context to understand it. Copilots lack the automation to execute it. Homegrown agents lack the security to protect it.
Vera is the only AI privacy agent with the context, automation, and security for privacy in production.
Specifically, Vera is:
☑️ Privacy context-aware with access to your live privacy program data, risk metadata spanning 22,000+ systems, and a continuously updated view of regulatory requirements. Instead of spitting out generic answers, Vera delivers evidence-based guidance grounded in your operation.
☑️ Human-governed, adopting your user permissions and never taking action without your approval. Every suggested action is flagged for review and every completed task is traceable. So you get the power of machine scale with the benefit of human control.
☑️ Secure by design with a single-tenant architecture, zero training on your data, and six-stage prompt protection. Plus it’s built on DataGrail’s no-compromise security architecture.
☑️ Fully integrated into the DataGrail platform with governed access to 2,500+ integrations across SaaS, cloud, and internal systems. You get relevant alerts and human-governed AI actions right in your DataGrail workflows.
This isn’t about experimentation or dev tools. It’s about deploying production-ready privacy AI with confidence.
The Jobs Vera Can Do For You, Day One
Vera introduces new levels of scale and automation for privacy teams. Here are a few of the ways you can put Vera to work right away.
Autofill privacy assessments in minutes, not months [BETA]
Manual privacy assessments are slow, incomplete, inaccurate, and outdated the moment they’re finished.
The DataGrail platform is underpinned by a living multi-layer context model that connects your system metadata, documentation, and previously completed assessments.
Vera can draw on all this information to AutoFill an accurate, evidence-based PIA, DPIA, AI risk assessment, or TIA with minimal human input.
Every response is flagged for human review and cross-team collaboration. Completed assessments are saved and reusable, so your team isn’t starting from scratch every time.
The results speak for themselves: teams using Vera for assessments are accurate, and getting completed 90% faster.
Transform cookie chaos into automated consent governance
Reviewing cookies and trackers once a quarter will no longer cut it with regulators. New cookies appear constantly, categorization is tedious, and keeping rules current is a full-time job.
Vera automatically detects new cookies on your site, researches them, suggests rules and categories, and applies them with your permission.
Vera is already managing over 1,000,000 cookies and counting.
“Vera’s AI Rule Suggestions significantly accelerated our rule creation process. What previously required manual iteration and refinement became faster and more intuitive, helping us move forward with greater confidence and efficiency.”
— Michele Sheets, Senior Manager of Digital Experience and Marketing Growth, NETGEAR
Find and fix privacy risks before they become incidents
Shadow AI. Ungoverned sensitive data processing. Unlawful data transfers. The AI era has introduced a new class of risks that most privacy teams instinctively know are out there, but have no way to find and mitigate.
Vera harnesses DataGrail system detection and discovery capabilities to continuously monitor for new systems, detect AI usage and sensitive data exposure across 22,000+ applications, and create prioritized action plans.
The result is a privacy team that stays ahead of risks, instead of being constantly chased by them.
Generate insights, reports, and answers on demand
Need a privacy ROI report for your executive team? Trying to understand how a new regulation squares with your privacy policies? Onboarding to a new integration and feeling stuck?
Vera is ready to help with all this and more.
Vera is also available directly in Slack, letting your team collaborate on messages, ask privacy questions, and get real-time guidance from Vera without leaving their workflow.
Orchestrate privacy work across your business with the DataGrail MCP Server
For teams using external AI clients like Claude Desktop or OpenAI Codex, this launch also includes the first production-ready privacy MCP server. Now you have a secure, governed way to extend DataGrail into the AI workflows your business already runs.
Push program analytics to Tableau, sync new vendors into DataGrail and trigger assessments automatically, or build agents that connect your procurement and compliance workflows end to end. And it’s all governed by the same human control and no-compromise security architecture that underpins Vera.
Built to Multiply the Impact of Lean Privacy Teams
We didn’t build Vera for hypothetical privacy programs. We built it for real teams that are under-resourced, over-extended, and expected to meet higher demands every year.
That means no heavy engineering lift to get started. No prompt engineering required. No black box that leaves you guessing what the AI is doing with your sensitive data.
It also means we’ve delivered the enterprise security architecture required to deploy AI with confidence: single-tenant isolation, multi-layer prompt protection, and strict human-governed permissions throughout.
We’re Bringing Privacy Into the Agentic Era
The best privacy programs in 2026 won’t be bigger, they’ll be smarter at harnessing AI.
DataGrail’s agentic data privacy platform is purpose-built to help you scale to meet AI-era privacy demands, without burning out in the process.
Vera is how we get there. Not someday. Today.
Vera is now available. All customers will have full, unlimited access to Vera Assessment AutoFill for a limited time, so there’s no better time to put it to work.
