The Privacy Platform Decision

Consent Is Just the Starting Line

Consent is just one piece. Privacy programs always expand into DSARs, data mapping, risk assessments, and AI governance. Ketch started as a consent tool.

DataGrail was purpose-built from day one as the complete privacy platform.

The real question isn't 'which platform should I choose for consent?' — it's 'which platform keeps your entire privacy program running at scale, effortlessly?'

Why Enterprises Choose DataGrail

“We did POC's with DataGrail competitors and [everyone else's automations required] building out the multitude of workflows, API connections, and, form edits. DataGrail truly automates DSR, Consent, Privacy Assessment, and data mapping from the start. We haven't needed any developer resources to integrate DataGrail with our existing systems.”

Adam C.

Product Owner, Mid-Market (4/5)

“By switching to DataGrail we have consolidated 3 prior privacy platforms into 1 while adding increased data mapping and automation capabilities.”

Robert S.

Privacy Analyst, Enterprise B2C (4/5)

“If we didn’t have DataGrail, it would have been much more cumbersome to address new legislation. The DataGrail team is not only a support system, but also great privacy advocates who keep us informed on what’s happening in the privacy world.”

Buyer's Guide

6 Questions to Ask Any Privacy Vendor

Why it matters: Your tech stack will grow. Per-integration pricing creates unpredictable costs and may force you to leave systems unconnected — creating compliance gaps.
Why it matters: Periodic scanning can leave weeks of non-compliance between checks. In today’s enforcement environment, that’s a risk you can measure in potential fines.
Why it matters: Privacy regulations change constantly. You need a partner who stays with you — not one who disappears after go-live.
Why it matters: Static, manual data maps become outdated the moment they’re completed. Automated, continuous discovery is the only way to maintain accurate data governance at scale.
Why it matters: Partial automation means manual work remains — which means cost, delay, and human error. True end-to-end automation requires deep, broad integration coverage.
Why it matters: Complex, engineering-heavy implementations delay your time to compliance and divert resources from other priorities.
