AI agent for data protection officers

Personal Data Processing Inventory Agent

An accurate, current record of personal data processing

Personal Data Processing Inventory Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

What it does

Privacy laws require a record of what personal data is held, where, why and for how long, but these records go stale as systems change. Each quarter this agent scans system inventories and data catalogs and asks each system owner to confirm data types, purposes, retention and sharing. It then checks the answers against the actual data schemas. If a system holds fields the owner did not declare, it asks the owner again and waits for an explanation. It flags missing legal bases, missing retention periods and vendors receiving data without a data processing agreement, and drafts actions with owners. Every data type needs a retention period. The data protection lead approves the updated record. Edge case: a new vendor receives customer data, so the agent checks for a data processing agreement before the record is approved.

How it works

Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

An example run

What happensIn the Q2 review, the CRM owner declared name and email, but the schema also held date of birth, so the check failed. The agent asked again, and the owner confirmed it was used for age checks. The agent added a legal basis and a two-year retention period. It also found a new survey vendor with no signed agreement. The data protection lead approved both actions.
