Records & DPIA depth
How this is scored
The DSMS core: records of processing (RoPA/VVT), data protection impact assessments, processor/DPA management and TOMs — how deeply the legal artifacts are modeled and connected.
0 — Document templates in a folder tree; the "register" is a Word file with version numbers in the filename.
3 — A structured RoPA with basic fields and a DPIA questionnaire, but processors, TOMs and legal bases live outside the system.
5 — RoPA and DPIA as linked modules with templates; processor management and TOM assignment exist but are shallow, and group reuse is copy-paste.
8 — A connected data model — processing activities linked to systems, processors, TOMs and legal bases — with DPIA triggers derived from the record, reusable group templates, and outputs a supervisory authority accepts.
10 — Privacy records as a system of record: the RoPA drives DPIAs, processor management and TOM coverage from one data model, multi-client/mandate capability included, and the documentation is audit-ready without manual assembly.
The IT Integrator
The legal artifacts are genuinely connected: processing activities synchronize automatically with DPIAs, TOMs and service providers, the DPIA threshold analysis derives from risky activities, and outputs from processor agreements to the RoPA go to the authority at a click. With more than 200 activity templates, records for both controller and processor roles, and legally reviewed templates, this is a real data model rather than linked folders. I found no public information on multi-client or mandate capability for consultancies, which keeps it a step below the strongest showing. 7 8 9 2
