DPA AI: Enterprise-Level Artificial Intelligence for Analyzing Data Processing Agreements

Purpose and goal

The project´s aim was to create an AI-based service for review of Data Processing Agreements as to whether or not they meet the requirements of the GDPR. At the end of the project, we have developed such a service that can determine this with great precision. The service is designed in three different ways depending on the user´s needs. A web interface, a Word add-in and a mail service. This means that we today can offer a fully completed and functioning service for all companies that deal with great number of DPAs.

Expected results and effects

The project has resulted in a service that can evaluate whether a DPA meets all the criteria according to GDPR. The service can partially replace the manual work that is currently being performed on review. We estimate that companies can save between 50 and 75% of the time spent today on reviews of DPAs.

Planned approach and implementation

The project has been finalized because Synch possess a unique knowledge in that we have lawyers who are also developers. Together with our project partner, Avantime and in collaboration with several large companies, we have utilized our technical expertise together with our legal knowledge to develop a service that solves a real problem. As a result, the project has been conducted in a way that involves potential customers to evaluate the benefits right from the start. This way of working has been very valuable since the final design of the product is due to their fedback.
