Abstract

Data processing systems and methods, according to various embodiments are adapted for efficiently processing data to allow for the streamlined assessment of the risk level associated with particular privacy campaigns. The systems may provide a centralized repository of templates of privacy-related question/answer pairings for various vendors, products (e.g., software products), and services. Different entities may electronically access the templates (which may be periodically updated and centrally audited) and customize the templates for evaluating the risk associated with the entities' respective business endeavors that involve the relevant vendors, products, or services.

Claims (54)

1 . A method comprising:

receiving, by computing hardware, a completed template from a vendor, the completed template including question/answer pairings regarding a particular product or service provided by the vendor;

determining, by the computing hardware based on the completed template, to request an updated version of the completed template from the vendor;

requesting, by the computing hardware, the updated version of the completed template from the vendor;

receiving, by the computing hardware, the updated version of the completed template that includes updated question/answer pairings regarding the particular product or service;

in response to receiving the updated completed template, automatically coordinating, by the computing hardware, an audit of the updated completed template for compliance with standards;

receiving, by the computing hardware, an audited updated completed template;

calculating, by the computing hardware, a risk rating for the particular product or service based on the audited updated completed template; and

facilitating, by the computing hardware, the electronic transfer of the audited updated completed template and the risk rating for the particular product or service to computer systems, each of the computer systems being associated with a different entity, for use in the different entities' respective computerized assessment of at least one respective activity, to be executed by the respective entity, that includes the use of the particular product or service.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein calculating the risk rating for the particular product or service is further based on an indication that the vendor has passed one or more vetting requirements imposed by one or more government entities.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the method further comprises analyzing, by the computing hardware, one or more pieces of publicly available data associated with the vendor; and

calculating the risk rating for the particular product or service is further based on the one or more pieces of publicly available data.

4 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising generating, by the computing hardware, one or more tasks based on the completed template.

5 . The method of claim 4 , wherein determining to request the updated version of the completed template from the vendor occurs in response to receiving, by the computing hardware, an indication that at least one of the one or more tasks has been completed.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein determining to request the updated version of the completed template from the vendor is further based on determining that particular product or service has been revised.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the electronic transfer of the audited updated completed template to the computer systems is carried out through on online portal integrated with an instance of each computer system of the computer systems.

8 . A system comprising:

a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions; and

a processing device communicatively coupled to the non-transitory computer-readable medium, wherein the processing device is configured to execute the instructions and thereby perform operations comprising:

receiving a completed template from a vendor, the completed template including question/answer pairings regarding a particular product or service provided by the vendor;

determining to request an updated version of the completed template from the vendor;

requesting the updated version of the completed template from the vendor;

receiving the updated version of the completed template that includes updated question/answer pairings regarding the particular product or service;

in response to receiving the updated completed template, automatically coordinating an audit of the updated completed template for compliance with standards;

receiving an audited updated completed template;

calculating a risk rating for the particular product or service based on the audited updated completed template; and

facilitating the electronic transfer of the audited updated completed template and the risk rating for the particular product or service to a computer system, the computer system being accessible by different entities, for use in a respective computerized assessment of at least one respective activity, to be executed by each of the respective entities, that includes the use of the particular product or service.

9 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise:

analyzing publicly available data associated with the vendor; and

calculating the risk rating for the particular product or service based on the publicly available data.

10 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the publicly available data comprises at least one of employee titles at the vendor, employee roles at the vendor, or available job postings for the vendor.

11 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the operations further comprise:

scanning a webpage associated with the vendor to identify a vendor attribute; and

calculating the risk rating for the particular product or service based on the vendor attribute.

12 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the vendor attribute indicates satisfaction, by the vendor, of a particular standard.

13 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the particular product comprises at least one of a component or a raw material.

14 . A method comprising:

receiving, by computing hardware, a computerized assessment from a vendor, the computerized assessment including question/answer pairings regarding a particular product or service provided by the vendor;

determining, by the computing hardware based on the computerized assessment, to request an updated version of the computerized assessment from the vendor;

requesting, by the computing hardware, the updated version of the computerized assessment from the vendor;

receiving, by the computing hardware, the updated version of the computerized assessment that includes updated question/answer pairings regarding the particular product or service;

calculating, by the computing hardware, a risk rating for the particular product or service based on the updated version of the computerized assessment; and

facilitating, by the computing hardware, the electronic transfer of the updated version of the computerized assessment and the risk rating for the particular product or service to a computer system, the computer system being accessible by different entity computing systems, for use in respective computerized assessments, by each of the different entity computing systems, of a respective activity, to be executed by respective entities associated with each of the different entity computing systems, that includes the use of the particular product or service.

15 . The method of claim 14 , wherein determining to request the updated version of the computerized assessment from the vendor is further based on determining that the particular product or service has been revised.

16 . The method of claim 15 , further comprising:

scanning, by the computing hardware, a webpage associated with the vendor to identify a vendor attribute; and

calculating, by the computing hardware, the risk rating for the particular product or service based on the vendor attribute.

17 . The method of claim 14 , wherein the vendor attribute indicates satisfaction, by the vendor, of a particular standard.

18 . The method of claim 14 , wherein calculating the risk rating for the particular product or service is further based on an indication that the vendor has passed one or more vetting requirements imposed by one or more government entities.

19 . The method of claim 14 , further comprising:

analyzing, by the computing hardware, publicly available data associated with the vendor; and

calculating, by the computing hardware, the risk rating for the particular product or service based on the publicly available data, wherein the publicly available data includes at least one of employee titles at the vendor, employee roles at the vendor, available job postings for the vendor, or one or more certifications held by the vendor.

20 . The method of claim 14 , wherein the particular product comprises at least one of a component or a raw material.
