Automatic Vendor Discovery – Identity Provider Integration

AUTOMATIC VENDOR DISCOVERY FOR GDPR REGISTER

Keep your vendor and systems register up to date automatically

Automatic Vendor Discovery connects to your identity provider, such as Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, identifies authorised applications and OAuth grants, and matches them against your existing GDPR Register records. New or unknown systems are sent to a controlled review queue before anything is added.
What Automatic Discovery does

Discover connected applications from your identity provider

Automatic Discovery connects to Microsoft Azure / Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace and reads the application and access information available from your identity environment.

It identifies authorised applications, enterprise apps, service principals, connected third-party apps, and OAuth grants, depending on the identity provider used.

The discovered items are then matched against the vendors and systems already recorded in GDPR Register. Known systems are recognised, while new or unrecognised items are sent for review.

How it works

Go from connected apps to your first vendor and systems register

Automatic Discovery helps new customers create a structured register from the systems already connected through Microsoft or Google — with human review before anything becomes official.

01

Connect identity provider

Connect Microsoft Azure / Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace using limited, read-only access.

02

Discover connected systems

GDPR Register identifies the applications, OAuth grants, and connected tools already in use across your organisation.

03

Build your first register

Discovered items are organised into a structured starting point for your vendor and systems register.

04

Review before adding

Your team confirms, edits, or rejects each item before it becomes part of your live compliance register.

Controlled review workflow

Your team decides what enters the register

Automatic Discovery does not automatically publish every discovered application into your live register. New systems are first placed in a review queue, where your team can confirm, edit, reclassify, or reject each item.

To make review faster, GDPR Register can suggest likely system types, vendor roles, data categories, and the reason why an item may need privacy, legal, security, or procurement review.

A compliance register should be built with automation — but approved by people.

Better visibility

Start with a clearer view of the systems already in use

Automatic Discovery helps new customers understand which applications and systems are already connected to the organisation through Microsoft or Google accounts.

Instead of starting with a blank spreadsheet, your team gets a structured starting point for building the first vendor and systems register — with clear visibility over what needs to be reviewed.

Build your first register from the systems your organisation is already using.

Questions Automatic Discovery helps answer

Starting point
01

Which applications are connected through Microsoft or Google accounts?

02

Which systems should be included in your first GDPR Register setup?

03

Which tools appear to be new, unknown, or unmanaged?

04

Which systems may require privacy, security, procurement, or AI governance review?

05

What should your team review first when building the register?

Built for GDPR Register workflows

More than an IT asset scan

Automatic Discovery helps you identify the vendors and systems already connected to your organisation, then turns that visibility into a structured starting point for GDPR Register.

Once vendors and systems are identified, your team can continue the compliance work directly in the platform: build RoPAs, map systems to processing activities, draft LIAs and DPIAs, run risk assessments, and manage AI governance workflows.

The result is a more accurate source of truth for legal, privacy, security, and compliance teams — from discovery to documentation, assessment, and ongoing governance.

Discovery shows what exists. GDPR Register helps you document, assess, and govern it.
