What are DPIAs, TIAs, and PIAs?

DPIAs (Data Protection Impact Assessments), TIAs (Transfer Impact Assessments), and PIAs (Privacy Impact Assessments) are evaluations used to assess privacy risks. DPIAs focus on assessing data processing risks, TIAs assess risks when transferring data across borders, and PIAs evaluate overall privacy risks in handling personal data.

ROPA, or Records of Processing Activities, is a documentation requirement under data protection regulations like GDPR. It involves maintaining a detailed inventory of all processing activities related to personal data, including information on data types, processing purposes, data subjects, and retention periods. ROPA helps organizations demonstrate compliance and manage privacy risks effectively.

How does Ketch conduct risk assessment?

Ketch performs risk assessments by connecting directly to data systems, providing real-time access to data and risk insights. Its always-on permit vault allows for instant retrieval of privacy preferences and records of processing activity. This enables comprehensive privacy and security controls throughout the data lifecycle, enhancing informed decision-making.

Risk Management

From point-in-time paperwork to continuous risk management

Most organizations still treat privacy risk management as a binder of assessments that ages the moment it's filed. But modern data and AI regulations require a current, defensible understanding of data risk. Do you know if your policies match reality?

Ketch makes risk management a continuous discipline rather than a documentation exercise. AI agents observe gaps across your data systems, contracts, and configurations, surface insights for your review, and take action to fix. Welcome to risk management in the AI era.

ketch agent network

Risk management on Ketch isn't a smarter form. It's a network of AI agents that already know your data, your systems, and your stakeholders — so every assessment starts pre completed before you’ve even seen it.

Ketch agents read the regulation, the data system, and the use case, then assemble the right question set for the assessment and assign it to the subject expert, all in front of you — DPIA, TIA, PIA, AI impact, vendor review.

Agents pull from data maps, system metadata, prior assessments, and live observations to only ask relevant questions and answer part of every assessment before it ever lands on a stakeholder or SME desk.

More About Ketch Agent Network

When data reality changes — a new vendor, a new field, a new model — agents detect it and update the assessment. No more documents that were true in March and fiction by June.

More About Ketch Agent Network

Agents compare your configuration against your privacy policy, ROPA, and stated commitments, providing insights into what has drifted past what your policies state. Each insight is tied to an action with a recommended fix that the agent applies inside the relevant Ketch product on your approval.

More About Ketch Agent Network

The agent network classifies every field across your SaaS stack, warehouses, by sensitivity, category, and purpose, and reclassifies the moment the data changes. Handling rules apply automatically: consent purposes are updated, retention is adjusted, and the field is flagged for assessment.
