Definitions
What is a Record of Processing Activities (ROPA)?
A Record of Processing Activities (ROPA) is a mandatory documentation requirement under Article 30 of the GDPR and Article 12 of the Swiss FADP. Organizations must maintain a written record of all personal data processing activities, including purposes, categories of data subjects, recipients, and international transfers. Enterprise groups with multiple legal entities often manage hundreds of ROPAs, making automated migration and centralized management critical for compliance.
What is a Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA)?
A Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) is required under Article 35 of the GDPR when processing is likely to result in a high risk to individuals' rights and freedoms. The European Data Protection Board (EDPB) has published guidelines on when DPIAs are mandatory and how they should be conducted.
What is the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP)?
The Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP), revised and effective since 1 September 2023, modernizes Switzerland's data protection framework to align more closely with the GDPR while maintaining Swiss-specific requirements. The full text is available on Fedlex. The Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC) oversees enforcement.
What is ISO 27001?
ISO 27001 is the international standard for information security management systems (ISMS), published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). Certification demonstrates that an organization has implemented systematic controls to manage information security risks. For privacy platforms handling sensitive compliance data, ISO 27001 certification provides assurance of operational security.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the zero-risk migration from OneTrust to Priverion work?
Priverion runs in parallel alongside OneTrust at no cost until your next OneTrust renewal date. During this period, the Priverion team handles the full migration of your ROPAs, assessments, and workflows. Most customers schedule their migration 3–6 months before their OneTrust renewal. The typical timeline is 4 weeks: Week 1 covers SSO setup and data export from OneTrust, Weeks 2–3 cover ROPA and assessment migration, and Week 4 covers workflow configuration and team onboarding. A dedicated Customer Success Manager guides the process from day one.
What is included in Priverion's enterprise pricing?
Pricing is based on the number of legal entities in your group and company size — not users or modules. All features are included, Enterprise SSO is included, and there are no hidden add-ons. Priverion has maintained zero price increases above CPI for all existing customers since its founding 7 years ago. You can request a quote and receive it within 24 hours.
Does Priverion support Enterprise SSO?
Yes. Every enterprise customer can integrate with major identity providers including Okta, Azure AD, and Google Workspace at no additional cost. This simplifies user access management and ensures authentication aligns with your organization's security policies and compliance requirements.
How long does a typical ROPA migration take?
Priverion typically migrates 50–500 ROPAs in 2–4 weeks. The process includes data mapping, validation, and connecting ROPAs to related data flows, assets, and affected person groups to maintain your compliance structure. Existing assessments can be imported from spreadsheets, OneTrust exports, or PDF-based records.
Is Priverion compliant with both GDPR and the Swiss FADP?
Yes. Priverion is designed to support compliance with both the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP). The platform is hosted in Switzerland and holds ISO 27001 certification, providing data residency within Swiss jurisdiction — relevant for organizations requiring data sovereignty beyond standard EU hosting.
Who is the Priverion enterprise platform designed for?
The enterprise platform is designed for organizations currently using OneTrust or similar tools that manage privacy compliance across multiple legal entities. It is trusted by 50+ privacy teams across 14 countries in sectors including healthcare, aviation, energy, legal, and technology. Single-company teams looking for their first compliance tool may find the mid-market offering a better fit.
What vendor risk management capabilities does Priverion offer?
Priverion includes vendor risk assessment workflows as part of its all-inclusive enterprise platform. Organizations can manage third-party vendor questionnaires, track risk scores, and automate review cycles. According to the IAPP-EY 2023 Privacy Governance Report, 60% of privacy professionals identified third-party/vendor risk management as a top operational priority, underscoring the importance of integrated vendor risk tooling within a GRC platform.
How does Priverion handle Data Subject Requests (DSRs)?
Priverion automates DSR workflows including intake, identity verification routing, task assignment, and response tracking. Under Articles 15–22 of the GDPR, organizations must respond to data subject requests within one month. Centralized DSR management is especially critical for enterprise groups where requests may span multiple legal entities and jurisdictions.
Industry Statistics and Context
According to the IAPP-EY 2023 Privacy Governance Report, the average privacy team budget grew to $2.7 million in 2023, with organizations managing an average of 5.1 privacy-related tools. The report also found that 42% of organizations planned to consolidate their privacy technology stack. A Gartner forecast projected that by 2025, 75% of the world's population would have personal data covered under modern privacy regulations, driving demand for scalable multi-jurisdictional compliance platforms. The EDPB 2023 Annual Report documented continued growth in cross-border enforcement actions, reinforcing the need for enterprise-grade ROPA management and DPIA automation across EU and EEA member states.
