PrivIQ

What PrivIQ does

PrivIQ is a cloud-based SaaS platform, operated by Compliance Technology Solutions BV and headquartered in Amsterdam, Netherlands, that delivers data privacy and operational risk management software. Originally launched in 2017 as GDPR365 and rebranded in 2021, the company now positions itself around three product pillars: Data Privacy Risk Management (covering 12+ global regulations including GDPR, POPIA, CCPA, and a generic offering for non-regulated countries), a customizable Risk Management Framework for operational risk, and CS3D Risk Management for the EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive. The platform bundles modular capabilities such as DPIA workflows, DSAR management, breach response, consent management, real-time audit scoring, data mapping, processor management, employee communications, and centralized governance, supported by AI-assisted document generation that is positioned as 'human-verified' for accuracy. PrivIQ monetizes primarily through recurring SaaS subscriptions (monthly and annual tiers, with DPIA included across all packages), supplemented by onboarding services, tailored/sector-specific risk builds delivered in-house or via partners, and data privacy and cybersecurity training courses.

PrivIQ sells through a hybrid go-to-market combining a product-led growth motion (free self-assessment and free gap analysis feeders), sales-assisted enterprise demos via HubSpot, and a global channel of risk, management, and data privacy consultants, with a notable strategic partnership with Redstor. Its customer base spans audit/advisory (Crowe, Azets), legal and compliance technology (Wolters Kluwer), retail (Hallmark), chemical distribution (Univar), holding companies (Khwezi Holdings), surveillance services (Advanced Overwatch), and additional mid-market and SME users—totaling 375+ customers in 36+ countries per company disclosures. The company is privately held, founder/CEO-led (Tai Chesselet), with a small stated headcount of 1–10 and no disclosed external funding, parent entity, or public financial metrics. Recognition includes G2's 2026 Best Software Awards for Best Data Privacy Software and a 2018 CIO Applications Europe Top 10 designation.

Direct peers

• Drata: Drata is a compliance automation and security monitoring platform covering SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, and other frameworks with continuous control monitoring. It overlaps with PrivIQ's compliance management posture and is increasingly competing for the same DPO/CISO buyer persona in mid-market accounts.
• Vanta: Vanta is a leading trust and compliance automation platform that started in SOC 2 and has expanded into ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, and broader compliance management. While its historical core is security compliance rather than pure privacy, its expanding privacy module and GRC vision place it as a direct competitor to PrivIQ for mid-market buyers evaluating compliance vendors.
• BigID: BigID is a data intelligence platform for privacy, security, and governance that delivers data discovery, classification, DSAR automation, and consent management. It directly competes with PrivIQ on data-mapping and privacy-program use cases and increasingly on overall privacy posture management for enterprise customers.
• TrustArc: TrustArc is a long-standing privacy compliance and risk management SaaS provider offering privacy assessments, consent management, and DSAR automation. It competes head-to-head with PrivIQ in GDPR/CCPA-focused mid-market and enterprise deals with comparable regulation coverage.
• Securiti: Securiti is an AI-driven data privacy and security posture management platform covering DSARs, consent, data mapping, and DPIA across global regulations. It directly mirrors PrivIQ's AI-enhanced, multi-regulation approach to privacy management for the same enterprise DPO/customer base, making it the closest product-feature comparison.

Emerging players

• Didomi: Didomi is a consent management platform focused on GDPR/CCPA compliance, preference and consent collection, particularly for digital publishers and consumer-facing brands. It overlaps with PrivIQ's consent management module but is narrower in scope, making it a partial-competitor in the consent/privacy segment.
• Hyperproof: Hyperproof is a compliance operations platform providing automated evidence collection, control testing, and program management for frameworks including ISO, SOC 2, and emerging privacy regulations. It overlaps PrivIQ's compliance workflow and audit-readiness functionality for mid-market GRC teams.
• LogicGate: LogicGate is a GRC workflow automation platform with purpose-built apps for privacy, risk, and compliance management. Its Risk Cloud Privacy Program Management application competes with PrivIQ for mid-market/enterprise GRC buyers and overlaps in DSAR, DPIA, and risk-register workflows.

Broad incumbents

• Collibra: Collibra is a data intelligence and governance platform that includes data catalog, data quality, and increasingly data privacy/governance capabilities. It overlaps PrivIQ in the data-mapping and data-governance portions of its platform and competes for enterprise data leaders managing privacy obligations alongside broader data stewardship mandates.
• OneTrust: OneTrust is the market-leading privacy, security, and GRC platform offering consent, DSAR, DPIA, and broader compliance automation. It is the dominant direct competitor to PrivIQ across the same target buyer (DPOs, privacy/legal teams at SMEs through enterprise) and same core use cases (GDPR, CCPA, global privacy regulation coverage), though at vastly larger scale and venture funding.
