Read this page as one judge. Each weighs the same scores by what they care about.

The Drafted Generalist

Weighted verdict

Office manager at an 80-employee firm who got compliance added to her job title, not her calendar. Optimizes for guided workflows in plain language and software that knows the law so she does not have to. Rejects consultant-shaped platforms that assume a compliance department.

Same scores as the panel view — this lens weights them the way this judge cares.

Scored by The Drafted Generalist

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.

Report an error

The Drafted Generalist

VVT, DSFA, TOMs, data recipients, Art. 28 processing and storage locations are all named modules, a VVT can be created directly from an existing DPIA, and inheritance handles group reuse rather than copy-paste. But we found no public information on legal bases being modeled or on how deeply activities connect to processors and TOMs, and TOM creation is described as manual. 7 8 10

Data subject rights & incidents

How this is scored

The operational half of the DSMS: data subject request handling with statutory clocks, breach register and authority notification, deletion concepts that actually delete.

0 — Requests arrive by email and live there; breaches are a phone call and a memo.

3 — A request log and a breach list exist, but deadlines are manual, intake is unstructured, and deletion rules are documentation rather than workflow.

5 — DSR workflows with the Art. 12 clock tracked, structured breach register with the 72-hour clock, deletion concepts assignable to records; automation is reminders.

8 — Intake channels for requests (portal/form), identity-check support, deadline automation with escalation, breach severity assessment and authority-report output, deletion rules tied to the RoPA with execution tracking.

10 — Rights and incidents as operations: end-to-end request handling an authority audit walks through, breach workflows that produce the Art. 33 notification, and deletion automation with evidence that the deletion happened.

Report an error

The Drafted Generalist

Data subject requests, breaches and a deletion concept are named modules, and breach tasks carry the 72-hour obligation with daily notifications to the responsible person and the DPO until the task is done. We found no public information on intake channels, identity checks, authority-report output, or deletion execution tracking — the automation shown is reminders and linked tasks. 8 9 10

Privacy regime coverage

How this is scored

Which privacy regimes the product actually operationalizes — GDPR, BDSG, Swiss nDSG, UK GDPR, ePrivacy, EU AI Act privacy duties — and whether one record maps across them or each regime is a fresh island.

0 — One regime, hard-coded; anything else is "on the roadmap".

3 — GDPR plus one national law as separate checklists; the same processing activity is documented once per regime.

5 — The major regimes for its market with partial cross-mapping; newer duties (AI Act, ePrivacy changes) present as content packs of varying depth.

8 — Broad current coverage with one-record-many-regimes mapping and visible maintenance as regimes evolve.

10 — Regime coverage as a living product: multiple privacy regimes on one data basis, per-country variants, and documented update cadence when the law moves.

Report an error

The Drafted Generalist

GDPR is the core and the AI Act is visibly operationalized through AI management software, an AI-system audit template and an external AI officer service. Beyond DSGVO and KI-VO the pages are silent: we found no public information on BDSG or Swiss nDSG variants despite a D-A-CH customer base, nor on one record mapping across regimes. 3 1 4 10

Audit readiness & evidence

How this is scored

Whether the system produces defensible proof: revision-safe history, evidence collection, reports for auditors, authorities and management.

0 — Exports are screenshots; history is overwritten in place.

3 — PDF reports exist but evidence is attached ad hoc and changes leave no reliable trail.

5 — Versioned records, standard report generators for the core registers, evidence attachments per activity; assembling a full audit file still takes days.

8 — Revision-safe change history, audit-scoped evidence packs on demand, management and authority reports current at a click, auditor access roles.

10 — Audit readiness as a standing state: continuous documentation status per regime and scope, exportable proof packs an auditor accepts as-is, and a defensible answer to "show me the state on date X".

Report an error

The Drafted Generalist

Risk and conformity audits draw on the same documentation, audit communication is logged and versioned, recurring cycles document their results at the object itself, and the report generator covers every core register for a chosen period with custom layout, group-wide with reporting levels. We found no public information on auditor access roles or on reconstructing the state on a past date, which is what standing audit readiness would need. 8 10

Report an error

Integrations & automation

How this is scored

Whether the platform feeds from the real IT estate — directory import, ticketing, API — and automates the recurring privacy work instead of re-typing it.

0 — A closed island: manual entry in, PDF out, no API.

3 — CSV/Excel import and export; no live connections, no API worth the name.

5 — Directory import (AD/Entra), a documented REST API for core objects, a handful of native connectors (ticketing or SSO); automation is reminders and recurrence.

8 — Real connector set (ticketing, HR or asset sources), webhooks, SSO/SCIM, workflow automation with delegation and escalation, useful AI assistance with human review.

10 — The platform behaves like infrastructure: API parity for the data model, event streams, bidirectional sync with the estate, and automation that measurably removes the recurring toil (reviews, attestations, evidence pulls) rather than renaming it.

Report an error

The Drafted Generalist

The automation shown is internal — recurring audits that create and document their own tasks, deadline reminders, automated risk assessment — plus Word and PDF exports and SSO only at the top tier. We found no public information on an API, directory import, or ticketing and HR connectors, so the real IT estate still gets entered by hand. 1 9 10

European sovereignty

How this is scored

Where the compliance record of the whole company actually lives and under whose law — entity, hosting, subprocessors, DPA. A platform that maps your processing is itself your most concentrated processing.

0 — Non-EU entity, non-EU-default hosting, no public DPA or subprocessor list — for the system holding your RoPA.

3 — A DPA exists and an EU region is available on request or on top tiers; subprocessor exposure to US CLOUD Act reach is broad or undocumented.

5 — EU hosting is the default, DPA and subprocessor list published; the vendor or a critical subprocessor is still within non-European jurisdictional reach.

8 — EU entity, EU hosting with named data centers, published subprocessor list free of content-touching non-EU processors, DPA and TOMs public.

10 — Jurisdictionally clean end to end: European ownership, EU-only hosting and subprocessors, on-premises or sovereign-cloud options, and the whole chain documented publicly.

Report an error

The Drafted Generalist

A German GmbH with "100% EU-Server" and development in Münster reads European end to end. But the captured pages show no public DPA, no subprocessor list and no named data centers, and ownership is unknown — the documented chain I would want from the vendor holding my record of processing is not visible. 5 8 10

Pricing transparency

How this is scored

Whether a buyer can compute the real invoice — per module, per entity, per year, with consulting unbundled — from public pages alone. Unpublished pricing is the B2B norm in this market, so this criterion describes rather than condemns; the benches weight it accordingly.

0 — No public prices at all; every configuration is a sales conversation.

3 — An entry price exists, but module add-ons, entity counts or bundled consulting make the real total incomputable.

5 — Most editions carry real numbers with billing period stated and software separated from services; at least one commonly needed module or scale step is unpriced.

8 — Every edition and module priced publicly with entity/user boundaries and setup fees stated; only genuine corporate-group contracts are custom.

10 — Complete price computability: modules, scale steps, service packages and renewal rules public, so the invoice for a 100-employee company and a 10-client consultancy is a two-minute exercise.

Report an error

The Drafted Generalist

Three tiers carry real numbers with the billing period stated — Free at "0 € monatlich", Starter "Ab 99 € monatlich" for 1 company, Professional "Ab 299 € monatlich" for 3 companies — so a firm like mine can compute its software invoice quickly. But Enterprise with SSO and group functions is "Auf Anfrage", the "Ab" leaves variability unexplained, and we found no public information on setup fees or pricing for the AI management software. 10
