GDPR

GDPR compliance starts with accountable data handling

Collect privacy evidence, assess controls, and track remediation with Zaniaโ€™s AI agents. Keep each finding connected to the processing activity and evidence your team needs to review.

Evidence Collection

Collect evidence for privacy reviews

Bring relevant evidence together for the personal-data processing activities in scope. Review its source, date, and coverage before using it to support a privacy control. Include relevant supplier records from your third-party risk reviews.

Controls Testing

Assess controls in the context of processing

Use testing procedures that reflect the processing activity and the controlโ€™s purpose. Keep the evidence and reasoning with each finding so privacy and security teams can review it.

Zania collects evidence and validates them against trust centers, breaches, and public records to surface real risks.

Agentic Remediation

Assign privacy findings to an owner

Prioritize findings, assign owners, and follow up on corrective work. Keep decisions and approvals alongside the evidence used to assess the issue.

Start with the processing activity

The same supplier can be a processor for one activity and a controller for another. Identify the purpose of processing and each partyโ€™s role before deciding which evidence, contract terms, and controls to review. A security certificate alone does not establish that the processing meets GDPR requirements.

Evidence collection beyond integrations

Continuously gather, refresh, and map evidence from connected systems. Beyond integrations, agents collect directly through browser automation with human oversight.

Audit-grade testing

Test privacy control design and operating effectiveness with the rigor GDPR accountability reviews demand, using procedures tailored to your processing activities.

Full audit trail

Every output includes a source reference, evidence trail, and confidence score so your team can review and stand behind results with full context.

Configurable controls and workflows

Adapt GDPR mappings, control ownership, and approval workflows to match how your organization actually operates.

Agentic remediation

Prioritize issues by risk, route them to the right owners, and drive resolution with contextual follow-ups.

Centralized visibility

Give security, compliance, and audit stakeholders one live view of control health, evidence status, and program progress, backed by source references and a clear audit trail.

Frequently asked questions

What evidence can AI agents collect for GDPR compliance?

AI agents can continuously collect and refresh evidence from your environment, integrations, and internal systems, then map that evidence to relevant GDPR requirements, privacy controls, and data handling workflows so teams spend less time gathering documentation manually.

How do you stay compliant with GDPR over time?

Staying compliant with GDPR means keeping evidence current, monitoring how personal data is handled across systems and workflows, and identifying gaps before they become larger privacy or regulatory issues. Zania helps teams do this continuously by evaluating controls, surfacing what changed, and moving remediation forward.

How do you monitor personal data handling and privacy controls?

Monitoring personal data handling under GDPR requires visibility into the evidence, controls, workflows, and unresolved issues that affect how personal data is collected, processed, stored, and shared across systems and third-party tools. Zania helps teams surface those gaps clearly and reduce manual overhead.

How is Zania different from traditional GDPR compliance software?

Traditional GDPR compliance software typically focuses on documentation, task tracking, and dashboards. Zania goes further by using AI agents to assess your environment, prioritize the issues that matter, explain why they matter, and help drive remediation with human oversight.

Can GDPR requirements be mapped across other frameworks?

Yes. Some security controls used for GDPR also support ISO 27001, SOC 2, HIPAA, or PCI DSS. Zania helps map related controls so teams can reuse relevant evidence. Teams still need to check the scope and requirements of each framework; shared controls do not cover all GDPR obligations.

How do you monitor GDPR compliance and identify gaps?

Identifying GDPR compliance gaps requires visibility into how personal data is handled, where controls are incomplete, and what has changed across systems and workflows. Zania helps surface those gaps earlier, clarify what needs attention, and move remediation forward with less manual effort.
