Trace Data Inks Privacy Partnership with BigID
London and New York, 8th March 2023
Trace Data, the boutique data protection compliance consultancy which has recently expanded into the US, has partnered with BigID to support clients to manage privacy risk effectively via its data intelligence platform.
This partnership represents a powerful blend of advisory and right-sized technology and consultancy services which will support organisations at all stages of development to operationalise their privacy programmes. Trace’s recent establishment of a New York office deepens the transatlantic knowledge-sharing element of this partnership too.
Why is Trace partnering with BigID?
Team Trace represents privacy, infosec and responsible data consultancy expertise with a truly international focus. BigID’s cutting-edge privacy management software enables organisations to automatically (and accurately) scan, map, and classify the data that matters most to them - whatever it is, wherever it is, at petabyte scale. They have privacy automation baked in from day one: with capabilities extending to data rights fulfilment, privacy and preferences management, PIA & RoPA, cookies & consent, and data lifecycle management (including deletion).
The partnership between Trace and BigID creates a holistic, technology-enabled approach to data protection which will allow firms of all sizes to capitalise on our formidable combined knowledge and tools. Trace provides consultancy, training and software services which can be augmented by BigID’s privacy management software as the client scales.
How our services complement each other, for client benefit:
The best blend of human and tech: at Trace we know that compliance works better when great tools are supported by expert knowledge. The partnership means our experienced, expert consultants can support BigID and Trace implementations, and offer personal expert support.
A managed service: at Trace we recognise that compliance can be complex, challenging and costly to complete without the right support; by managing compliance software we can maximise platform progress together and bake in efficiencies from the start.
Outsourced Data Protection Officer (DPO) services: a DPO, whether in house or external, needs to deeply understand data processing and risks; the use of a privacy platform is essential for maintaining effective compliance processes that serve - not stifle - your business objectives.
How Trace can assist in your BigID implementation?
Trace can assist with managing the implementation of BigID into your organisation in ways which extend far beyond actual implementation support. We can offer meaningful and expert consultancy for data protection compliance, to ensure that your organisation is fully leveraging the automation possibilities offered by BigID, and also perform implementation assurance checks and maintenance.
We can support organisations that are already familiar with or using the platform as well as organisations who wish to start the implementation of BigID right now.
