Join us on November 9 to learn how to successfully innovate and achieve efficiency by upskilling and scaling citizen developers at the Low-Code/No-Code Summit. Data protection isn't something organizations can take lightly. With high-profile companies like Sephora, Meta, and Google [subscription required] getting hit with millions in data protection fines over the past couple of months, it's clear that regulators can and will penalize noncompliance. However, many organizations are still failing to keep up with their compliance obligations due to the complexity of identifying data due where it lives in the environment. The good news is that is a challenge that many providers are looking to address with artificial intelligence (AI).

President and CEO Rehan Jalil looked at how organizations conducted their privacy compliance practices and saw areas that could use improvement. He saw solutions that only handled part of an entity's compliance efforts and a lot of work privacy professionals had to conduct manually. It is why Jalil and his company launched Privaci.ai, a platform designed to automate compliance tasks through the use of artificial intelligence and bots. Privaci was created to tackle data subject access requests, collect consent, assess third-party vendors and assist organizations as they conduct privacy impact assessments. To help bolster these efforts, Privaci recently announced it has obtained $31 million in Series A funding, which Jalil said will be used to continue to service its customers, as well as provide support to its team of 130 employees.
