## The panel's verdict

TerraTrue is a data-protection platform built around design-time review: it reads draft PRDs and opens privacy and security reviews before code is written, screening AI features against the EU AI Act and US state AI and automated-decision rules. Its strongest scores land in integrations and automation at 7-8, crediting a data catalog spanning 25 sources, bi-directional Jira, Slack and Ironclad syncs, an AWS scanning agent that keeps data and credentials inside the customer's VPC, and an MCP server exposing review history to Claude, Gemini, Copilot and ChatGPT. Privacy management scores cluster at 4: DPIA, ROPA and PII-discovery automation is documented, but no public information shows TOMs, legal-basis linkage or an authority-ready register output. Rights and incidents is weakest at 0-1; five judges found no public information on data subject requests, breach registers or the 72-hour clock. Audit readiness spans 2-4, higher scores crediting drift alerts and GitHub pull-request checks, lower ones citing no evidence packs or auditor access. Sovereignty scores range 0-2, only a subprocessors page disclosed. Persona-weighted totals range 3.3-5.2; no price figures were captured.

**Speaks for it:**
- Reviews open at design time, with TerraTrue reading draft PRDs to find sensitive data flows and AI dependencies before code is written.
- Data catalog connects to 25 sources including Snowflake and Databricks and flags drift when production stops matching the approved state.
- Bi-directional Jira, Slack and Ironclad syncs trigger risk reviews with AI-pre-populated intake questionnaires.
- A client agent runs in the customer's own Kubernetes to scan AWS datastores without data or credentials leaving the VPC.
- AI governance screening assesses proposed AI features, models and vendors against the EU AI Act, US state AI and automated-decision rules and internal policy.

**Held against it:**
- We found no public information on data subject request handling, deletion tracking, breach registers or the 72-hour notification clock, and rights and incidents scores sit at 0-1.
- Privacy management scores cluster at 4, with no public information on TOMs, legal bases linked into records, or an authority-ready register output.
- No sovereignty attributes are on record; the only proven disclosure is a subprocessors page, and we found no public information on hosting location, contracting entity or a data processing agreement.
- We found no public information on national law variants such as BDSG, Swiss nDSG or UK GDPR, or on a published legal-update cadence, leaving framework coverage at 4-5.
- We found no public information on a documented REST API, webhooks or SCIM user provisioning.

**Best for:**
- You run privacy and security reviews inside engineering tools and want reviews triggered from Jira, Confluence, Notion, Google Docs or Slack with AI pre-filled intake.
- You need automated discovery and drift detection across a data estate of 25 connected sources, from Snowflake to Databricks.
- You screen AI features, models and vendors at proposal time against the EU AI Act and US state AI and automated-decision rules.
- You want review history queryable inside Claude, Gemini, Copilot or ChatGPT through an MCP server whose permissions an administrator can revoke.

**Avoid if:**
- You need rights and incident operations as a running capability — the captured workflows happen before code is written, and rights and incidents scores sit at 0-1.
- You must hand a supervisory authority evidence packs or register reports — audit readiness scores span 2-4, with the visible evidence resting on drift alerts, GitHub pull-request checks and a Google Sheets export.
- Your screening must cover national privacy law variants such as BDSG, Swiss nDSG or UK GDPR — the named screening content covers the EU AI Act and US state AI and automated-decision rules, and framework coverage scores range 4-5.
- You must know where your compliance record is hosted and under whose law it contracts — sovereignty scores range 0-2 and the only disclosure is a subprocessors page.

## Scores by judge and criterion

Scores out of 5, each judge scoring independently against the published rubric (v3). "n/r" = not rated: the vendor publishes no price, or the judge found no public information on that criterion.

### The judges

- **The External DPO** (v2.0): Carries thirty client mandates and bills by the hour they save. Optimizes for multi-client capability, reusable templates, a RoPA that drives the rest, and client-ready reports. Rejects single-tenant tools that treat the consultancy as thirty separate customers.
- **The In-House Counsel** (v2.0): Answers personally when the authority writes. Optimizes for defensibility: request clocks that never slip, a breach workflow that produces the Art. 33 notification, regime coverage that matches where the company actually operates. Rejects tools whose legal content nobody maintains.
- **The Drafted Generalist** (v2.1): 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.
- **The Lead Auditor** (v2.0): Audits management systems for a living and has seen every folder of screenshots. Optimizes for revision-safe history, evidence packs on demand, and a defensible answer to "show me the state on date X". Rejects systems where the audit trail is assembled the week before the audit.
- **The IT Integrator** (v2.0): Has to feed the compliance platform from the estate that already exists: Entra ID, Jira, the CMDB. Optimizes for directory import, a real API, webhooks and SSO — compliance data that stays current because it syncs, not because someone retypes it. Rejects data islands with a CSV drawbridge.
- **The Skeptic** (v2.1): Hunts certification logos that link nowhere, "AI-powered" features with no substance behind them, consulting bundled as software, legal-update promises with no named lawyer, and customer counts that disagree between pages. Exists to keep the rest of the bench honest.
