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

The privacy suite documents the record of processing activities, technical and organisational measures and inquiries in a traceable, versioned way, and the vendor's own guidance on data protection management systems covers impact assessments with scoring plus processor contracts filed in the system — that reads as a real register, not a folder of Word files. I found no public information showing impact assessments are triggered from the record itself or that legal bases are linked into one connected data model, and the deeper DSMS descriptions sit on a knowledge page rather than product claims, so I land at solid but not connected. 2 2 4

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

Inquiries are documented in a traceable, versioned manner and data protection violations are named as something the system must document, which covers the basic request-log and incident-list level. I found no public information on statutory deadline tracking, a request intake portal, the 72-hour authority notification output or deletion workflows, and those clocks are exactly what I cannot run by hand. 2 4

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

Everything evidenced is GDPR: the register, TOMs and impact-assessment language are all DSGVO artifacts from a German vendor, and the compliance content I can see centres on financial rules like MaRisk, DORA, GwG and WpHG rather than other privacy regimes. I found no public information on Swiss, UK GDPR, ePrivacy or AI Act privacy duties as supported regimes, so one privacy regime is what the pages show me. 4 6 7

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

Versioned and traceable records, centrally managed evidence, freely configurable reporting and audit preparation support for external data protection officers are all stated on the product pages, and the archive component carries a KPMG certification from 2010. I found no public information on auditor access roles or audit-scoped evidence packs on demand, so this sits at good standard reporting rather than a standing audit-ready state. 3 2 2 9

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 AI Service Connector lets a customer plug in their chosen AI provider inside the software, which is a live external connection, and a subsidiary handles integrations and automations as project services. I found no public information on directory import, a documented API, single sign-on or ticketing connectors, so beyond the AI hook this looks like custom project work rather than a connector set. 3 10 11

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 AG in Dortmund, hosting through its own German subsidiary in German data centres, plus an on-premises option, is a genuinely European footprint and better than an EU region on request. But I found no published DPA or subprocessor list, ownership is unclear, and the AI provider is the customer's choice while the pages raise the hosting-location question without showing an answer, so the chain is not documented end to end. 3 5 3 6 11

Pricing transparency not rated — the vendor publishes no price

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

The only public numbers here are that demos, a webcast and a trial are free of charge and non-binding. No edition, module or licence price appears anywhere I can see, so every real configuration starts with a sales conversation. 7 10
