SAN FRANCISCO — Sept 6, 2023 — DataGrail, a leading data privacy platform, announced today that it has been named a Leader in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Data Privacy Compliance Software 2023 Vendor Assessment (doc #US49841923, September 2023). The IDC MarketScape study evaluated the data privacy capabilities and innovations among 12 vendors, for both  the strengths and challenges. According to the IDC MarketScape, “DataGrail integrates deep into the organization, and customers note that its privacy capabilities weave deep into the fabric of customer organizations and enable privacy by design.” Complimentary access to the excerpt  is available online here.

IDC MarketScape is the ICT industry’s premier vendor assessment tool, providing in-depth quantitative and qualitative technology market assessments of ICT vendors for a wide range of technology markets. This comprehensive assessment of market competitors, delivered in a full-length research report and summarized in an easy-to-read graphical depiction, provides organizations with the critical information necessary to make their most important technology decisions.

According to the IDC MarketScape report, “DataGrail enables efficiencies for its customers to create proactive privacy compliance. Users report this is supported by the ease of use of the program and how easily DataGrail can automate things like DSAR compliance.”

The report also touches on the complexity of data privacy, and how DataGrail removes the complexity, stating, “Data exists everywhere in the organizations, and many of the largest

organizations were not born in the cloud. DataGrail has a robust ecosystem of connectors that consider the most popular SaaS applications but also include connectors to hosted or on-premises databases.”

DataGrail leads the industry with more than 2,000 integrations. DataGrail’s Risk Intelligence product leverages these integrations to unlock visibility across the entire tech stack and expose unknown shadow IT.

“When evaluating DataGrail’s technology, particularly the innovations the company has introduced to the market over the past year, and listening to customer feedback, DataGrail is a leader in data privacy compliance,” said Ryan O’Leary, Research Director, Privacy and Legal Technology at IDC. “DataGrail makes tedious and time-consuming tasks simple and efficient for companies. It also leaves no stone unturned when locating consumer data across hundreds of applications and internal systems within a given environment. By identifying where data resides in real time and helping companies understand how to handle that data to respect consumer wishes, privacy is upheld.”
