Have Insight into the Why and How of your Data:
New privacy legislation requires companies to not only know what data they collect, but why, and how. The "why" and "how" are usually overlooked, but are critical for ethical and compliant data use. Conventional audits miss the context for data-use decision-making. Data-use decision-making is fluid, made for a purpose, and typically not documented. Shepherd captures these decisions in real time, which minimizes compliance friction. It enables more effective workflows and alleviates the need for post-hoc justifications for data use. Together with Shepherd, organizations can concentrate on the value of data and avoid loss.
Our Values
- Design - Privacy is built into the product design process before engineering begins.
- Workflow - Automated approvals and clear documentation replace complex audits.
- Empowerment - Business and data teams easily request, review, and govern data use.
Our Approach
We’re committed to giving companies insight into the upside and downside of each piece of customer data they consider collecting. We’re passionate about helping businesses move on from the outdated paradigm of collecting all data.
DataGiene creates an efficient workflow that ensures privacy concerns are accounted for during the design proposal process. Engineers are only involved when data collection purposes and uses are deemed appropriate.
Join Our CommunityBusiness Advocates
Business Advocates are anyone within an organization who needs to use data. Digital marketers, ecommerce directors, and financial analysts all need access to data in order to perform their functions. Shepherd OS makes requests for data easy with context-rich and detailed forms and a clear channel for submission, review, and approval. When business stakeholders spend less time looking for data, they can spend more time being effective team members.
Data Authorities
Shepherd empowers Data Authorities to make informed and impactful decisions about data usage within the organization. Data Authorities can examine the details of data lease requests, perform discovery, notate, reject, and approve requests based on the context provided through Shepherd. Data Authorities are currently hamstrung by esoteric and high-friction data practices. Shepherd OS provides a set of powerful tools to Data authorities making discovery, permissioning, and triage operations straightforward.
Technicians
Shepherd OS provides technicians with all the tools they need to easily connect new repositories of any data structure. Shepherd provides automated mapping of data fields to Human Attributes with the ability to make manual adjustments. A mapped and connected repository provides a comprehensive overview of and valuable insight into the data an organization is storing. No more fielding mundane requisition requests or jotting down keys on post-it notes. After connection is complete, technicians can turn their attention back to other engineering tasks.
