Happy New Year! We trust your 2025 is already off to an excellent start. We’ve a very exciting 2025 in store for all of our Keepabl customers, friends and supporters.
We’re starting our year strong with Third Parties replacing our Entities and Vendors, as well as sharing what we’ve got planned for the year on our Product Roadmap, starting with Assessments!
We had two separate modules for anyone other than your Organisation: Entities and Vendors, and Vendors was a subset of Entities. We had feedback that this wasn’t always clear, and as we’re bringing out Third Party Assessments in Q2, we’ve combined both existing modules into one module: Third Parties.
A Third Party is anyone other than your Organisation. Simple as that.
The new Third Party module is a one-stop-shop to report on any such business, whether that’s a joint controller, processor, stranger or group member. We no longer use the terms ‘Vendor’ or ‘Entity’ in the Keepabl app. Both are renamed to Third Party and Third Parties.
As with any product update in Keepabl, the changes are already live in our customers system, with no action required. All of the previous Vendors and Entities have migrated over, and all User permissions have carried over to the new structure.
As you complete your RoPA and identify your Third Parties, we do lots of intelligent linking and heavy lifting to make managing all your ongoing obligations as simple as possible:
Keepabl’s Third Party module instantly draws out all the Third Parties in your RoPA, with role-specific reports so you can always answer key Privacy obligations quickly.
Instant transparency. Searchable. Downloadable. Filterable – is that a word?
You need to know which Third Parties are in your Data Map, in each and every role, so you can maintain good Privacy Governance. With Keepabl’s Third Party Registers, you can drill down by category of role or by individual entity to see where they appear and what they do.
We’re super proud of our many product releases over the last couple of years and thought it’d be great to give a quick summary of some things you may have missed:
Our fantastic new Assessments module is in QA and will be launching through Q1 and Q2 2025. We’ll be releasing the module in phases with the first release expected on Valentines Day.
Valentines Day will see the launch of the module with exciting new benefits of Contributors and Signatories, and starts with template LIAs. We’ll shortly follow that with TIAs and AI in Phase 2, Phase 3 will see DPIAs including Risk, rounded off by Phase 4 with Third Parties and the Template Builder.
Our valued customers will get free access to Assessments for a trial period. We’ll be in contact with more details on that shortly.
Once Assessments is out we’ll turn our attention to the Asset Register and building Enterprise Risk into the solution.
Stay tuned for more exciting product updates on the horizon!
