Design Approval and Automation Flows Visually, Then Run Them on Your Records
When an approval step moves, the people accountable can't move it
Your control framework lives or dies on its processes: who reviews a DPIA before it ships, who signs off on a vendor before onboarding, what happens automatically when a record changes state. In most tooling those flows are hardcoded — written into the application by engineers and frozen until the next release.
That gap is where governance breaks down. When an approval step needs to move, the people accountable for the control can't move it. They raise a request, wait for a sprint, and run the manual version in the meantime.
The result is a documented procedure that no longer matches the executed one — exactly the discrepancy an ISO 27001 auditor is trained to find.
What you can do with the Workflow Editor
- Design workflows as node graphs in a visual editor — no code, no developer dependency.
- Compose flows from configurable node types drawn from a managed node-configuration catalog.
- Extend the workflow vocabulary by adding node types, not just toggling fixed options.
- Save each workflow as a versioned definition you can identify and reuse.
- Trigger a run against live records by enqueuing it into the workflow queue.
- Define what a flow acts on through a trigger node tied to an element type and event.
What it delivers to your program
- Compliance owns its own processes — moving an approval step is a configuration change, not a release cycle.
- Documented procedure matches executed procedure, closing the gap auditors probe.
- Multi-step procedures become executable, mapped node by node instead of described in a policy PDF.
- Change requests to engineering drop, freeing your team from the developer bottleneck.
Built for compliance
DPMS helps you evidence the specific obligations that govern your control procedures — mapped to the control, never to "the standard."
| What DPMS does | Maps to | How |
|---|---|---|
| Lets process owners design and change approval flows directly | ISO 27001:2022 Annex A 5.37 | Visual node-graph editor, no code change required |
| Records each workflow as a saved, identifiable definition | ISO 27001:2022 Annex A 5.37 | Persisted as a versioned workflow definition |
| Executes flows against real records on demand | ISO 27001:2022 Annex A 5.37 | Runs enqueued into the workflow queue from a trigger node |
Why Priverion
Unlike general-purpose GRC tools that offer fixed, configuration-only workflow toggles, Priverion gives you a graphical node-based designer — and the node-type catalog is itself extensible, so the workflow vocabulary grows with your processes.
Because the editor lives inside one unified privacy and InfoSec platform, the workflows you design run on the same records, vendors, and assessments you already manage — no separate automation tool to integrate or re-key data into.
