Learn about Priva Subject Rights Requests

Several privacy regulations around the world grant individuals—or data subjects—the right to make requests to review or manage the personal data that companies have collected about them. These subject rights requests are also referred to as data subject requests (DSRs), data subject access requests (DSARs), or consumer rights requests. For companies that store large amounts of information, finding the relevant data can be a formidable task. For most organizations, fulfilling requests is a highly manual and time consuming process.

Priva Subject Rights Requests is designed to help alleviate the complexity and length of time involved in responding to data subject inquires. We provide automation, insights, and workflows to help organizations fulfill requests more confidently and efficiently.

Two pathways for fulfilling requests

Priva provides capabilities to fulfill subject rights requests via two pathways: one for personal data both within your organization's Microsoft 365 environment, and another for data beyond Microsoft 365, which is in preview. The capabilities and workflow differ between the two types of requests. View each section below for details.
