    Privacy, Data Protection & Sovereignty

    GDPR, KSA PDPL, UAE PDPL with residency, consent and PII guardrails enforced at the platform.

    Run the full privacy programme — discovery, classification, RoPA, DPIA, consent, DSAR — backed by Link guardrails that enforce residency, PII redaction and consent at every data hop. The only stack where privacy is a runtime behavior, not just paperwork.

    What it does

    Core capabilities

    Data discovery

    Scan structured + unstructured estates for personal and sensitive data.

    RoPA & DPIA

    Living record of processing with risk-tiered DPIAs.

    DSAR automation

    Identity-verified subject requests fanned out across systems.

    Runtime residency

    Link routes data and prompts to compliant regions per record.

    Consent enforcement

    Centralised consent applied at API and agent boundary.

    What it composes

    Modules included across iShield

    This solution is not a single module — it composes capabilities from across Nexus, Connect, One, Link and iShieldGRC to deliver the outcome.

    Why this composition

    Privacy programmes that only own the paperwork (RoPA, DPIA, DSAR) can't enforce anything at runtime. By adding Data Discovery & Classification plus Link's residency / consent / PII guardrails, policy becomes a behaviour the platform enforces on every API and prompt.

    How it works

    Reference data flow across iShield

    A single record moves across iShield Nexus, Link, One and Connect — with GRC evidence captured at every step.

    1
    iShield Nexus

    Captures the request, ticket, asset or risk record in the workflow engine and CMDB.

    2
    iShield Link

    AI agents enrich, score and route the record under residency, PII and approval guardrails.

    3
    iShield iShieldGRC

    Evidence is harvested and stored against the relevant control to keep audit posture continuous.

    iShield Nexus

    Outcome, SLA and KPI are written back so dashboards and reporting reflect closed-loop reality.

    iShield GRC

    Regulatory & framework coverage

    Out-of-the-box control mappings managed by the iShield Nexus Risk & Compliance (GRC) module.

    Why iShield

    How iShield wins this category

    vs ServiceNow

    Sovereign-cloud deployment in KSA and UAE with NCA-aligned key custody — no Azure-region workaround required.

    vs SAP / Oracle

    Workflow-first composable model — no multi-year re-implementation to change a process.

    vs Salesforce

    One platform across CRM, ITSM, GRC and ERP — no per-cloud licensing stack.

    vs Best-of-breed stack

    iShield Link enforces residency, PII and consent across products so guardrails are systemic, not per-tool.
