SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 17, 2020 — Ketch, a company making it easier for businesses to automate data regulation, is unveiling PrivacyGrader.com, a free privacy score that helps businesses measure compliance risk. Founded by technology veterans Tom Chavez and Vivek Vaidya, and created by legal privacy experts from Berkeley, PrivacyGrader.com scores how well the website is abiding by current data regulations.

Through PrivacyGrader.com, any business will know how well its website upholds consumer data protection laws, ensures privacy functionality, and highlights potential gaps and issues. Additionally, companies can connect with privacy experts to take immediate steps to fix drawbacks, all while maintaining complete discretion of the completed score at no cost.

To sign up, go to PrivacyGrader.com and complete these steps:

1: Insert your company’s website and enter your work email address
2: Authenticate your email
3: Once your information is verified, PrivacyGrader.com will complete a thorough analysis of your site, examining 50 different privacy aspects of your website, including cookies and other consent-based trackers, legal requirements as it pertains to storing and processing consumer data and overall compliance with data regulations (i.e. CCPA, GDPR, etc.)
4. A score will be sent to your email inbox along with a detailed description of areas on your site that are fully compliant with existing regulations and areas that are currently at risk to you and your consumers. Rest assured, the recap will also have a ‘to-do’ list with specific actionable steps you and your company can take to address these issues immediately

Having spent more than two decades building some of the leading customer data platforms, including Krux (acquired by Salesforce) and Rapt (acquired by Microsoft), PrivacyGrader.com co-founders are back to help businesses ensure the personal data they use is secure and compliant amid increasing regulations.

“Using consumer data can be a slippery slope,” explained Tom Chavez, CEO, and co-founder of Ketch. “My team and I have worked in this space for over 20 years, so we get it. That’s why we’re offering this free service to any company because we know how important it is to ensure customer trust and total data compliance. We’re here to handle the intricacies so businesses can stick to what matters, growing their business and helping customers.”

According to the International Association of Privacy Professionals, despite record spending on data privacy and security products in 2020, companies are still racking up massive fines and lawsuits due to a lack of resources and complete follow-through of data policies while leaking confidential information and losing customer trust.
