  • Publication number: 20180336264
    Abstract: In particular embodiments, a data processing data inventory generation system is configured to: (1) generate a data model (e.g., a data inventory) for one or more data assets utilized by a particular organization; (2) generate a respective data inventory for each of the one or more data assets; and (3) map one or more relationships between one or more aspects of the data inventory, the one or more data assets, etc. within the data model. In particular embodiments, a data asset (e.g., data system, software application, etc.) may include, for example, any entity that collects, processes, contains, and/or transfers personal data (e.g., such as a software application, “internet of things” computerized device, database, website, data-center, server, etc.). For example, a first data asset may include any software or device (e.g., server or servers) utilized by a particular entity for such data collection, processing, transfer, storage, etc.

  • Publication number: 20180293631
    Abstract: An example system for automatically expanding a vendor selection cycle for fulfillment of a requested product or service can include a processor, a user interface, and a database. The database can store a plurality of vendors characterized by one or more vendor characteristics. The processor can be configured to associate the requested product or service with a plurality of order characteristics, compare the one or more vendor characteristics for each of the plurality of vendors with the plurality of order characteristics, and filter the plurality of vendors to yield a set of viable vendors according to the comparison. The processor can also rank the set of viable vendors, send order requests based on the ranking, and automatically expand the list based on whether the order is fulfilled within a pre-determined period of time.
