Legal & Privacy
Impact assessments, vendor due diligence, DPA negotiation, regulatory scanning. Wordsmith makes sure none of it gets shortcut, even when the volume says it should.

Privacy work without the paper mountain
DPIAs, TRAs and LIAs without the two-week turnaround. Bring in your documents and context. Wordsmith reads and understands it, applies your legal intelligence, and completes the assessment. Your team reviews, approves, and focuses on mitigation and risk management.
Vendor due diligence that doesn't block the business. Drop in the DPAs, the processing descriptions, the tech specs. Get back a structured privacy report - data flows, personal data categories, international transfer risks - in minutes, not days.
DPA negotiation on your terms, every time. Your playbook sets the positions. Wordsmith applies them on every agreement - inbound third-party paper, comments on your own - and returns redlines, ready to negotiate.
Research that knows your business, not just the law. Ask a question. Pick your jurisdictions. Get an answer that's been shaped by your entity structure, the jurisdiction you operate in, and your house style for research notes.
Wordsmith monitors the sources you care about - regulatory sites, law firm blogs, news feeds - and sends a tailored summary to your Slack. You don't go looking for it. It comes to you.
Breach notification windows, transfer mechanisms, sub-processor requirements - extracted from hundreds of executed DPAs at once. The gaps surface before they become problems.
The impact assessment that doesn't need a week of your time
A new vendor arrives. Before approval, someone needs to figure out whether a PIA is required, pull the documentation, review it, and write it up. That process eats days. Wordsmith cuts it to a conversation.
With Skills and Blueprints, you bring in any documents - DPAs, call notes, Confluence pages, vendor questionnaires, tech specs - and Wordsmith assesses what's in scope, determines which assessment applies (DPIA, TRA, LIA), and drafts it. Your team reviews and signs off.
You can refine your thresholds and add bespoke standard positions. Each assessment makes the next one faster.

Due Diligence without the backlog
The vendor onboarding queue shouldn't be a bottleneck. But when every new supplier means someone manually reading through DPAs, privacy notices, processing descriptions, and security questionnaires before a decision can be made - it becomes one.
Drop in the full document set and any relevant context. Wordsmith pulls out the data flows in scope, the categories of personal data processed, the transfer mechanisms used, the sub-processor arrangements, the breach notification obligations. All this is completely customisable to your business.
The legal judgement, which vendors to approve, and which relationships need closer scrutiny, stays with your legal team, where it belongs. Wordsmith just makes sure that judgement is based on the full picture, not just what there was time to read.
Regulatory change, caught before it costs you
The ICO updates its guidance. The EDPB issues a new opinion. A law firm flags a jurisdiction-specific development that affects three of your sub processors. By the time it surfaces in your inbox, the window to act has already narrowed.
Wordsmith monitors the regulatory sources that matter to your practice and publishes a tailored summary to your Slack on a schedule you set. You define the sources and give Wordsmith context about your business. It filters to what's relevant for your privacy programme.

Your DPA estate as a live asset
Most privacy teams know they have DPAs filed somewhere. What they don't have is quick access to what those DPAs actually say across specific clauses. How long do you have to notify in the event of a breach? Which vendors require prior approval for new sub-processors? Which international transfer mechanisms are you relying on?
Run a report across all your DPAs in a single pass. Any provision type, any clause, any obligation - immediate visibility across every vendor relationship.
When you need to act on it, Wordsmith can do everything from holding the pen on a major repapering exercise, to identifying and creating addendums because of a change in law. You define the amendment, and Wordsmith handles the drafting at scale. It applies across every relevant agreement, runs your positions on the output, and routes everything for review. Hundreds of DPAs. Your team signs off and sends.
