WireWheel

WireWheel is a privacy compliance and data protection platform designed to make privacy management accessible and practical for mid-market organizations that may not have the budget or resources for enterprise-grade privacy solutions. Founded in 2016 and headquartered in Arlington, Virginia, WireWheel has built a focused platform that helps organizations manage data subject access requests, conduct privacy assessments, maintain data inventories, and demonstrate compliance with privacy regulations including GDPR, CCPA, and other state and federal privacy laws. The platform's strength lies in its pragmatic approach to privacy compliance. Rather than trying to be an all-encompassing GRC platform, WireWheel concentrates on the core workflows that privacy teams need to manage day-to-day: processing and fulfilling data subject requests, mapping data flows across the organization, assessing privacy risks, and generating compliance documentation. The DSAR automation capabilities are particularly noteworthy, providing a streamlined workflow for receiving, verifying, routing, and fulfilling individual rights requests with minimal manual intervention. WireWheel's data inventory and mapping tools help organizations understand where personal data resides, how it flows between systems, and which third parties have access to it. This visibility is foundational for privacy compliance and enables organizations to respond quickly and accurately to data subject requests, privacy assessments, and regulatory inquiries. The platform also provides assessment templates aligned with major privacy regulations, making it easier for privacy teams to evaluate their compliance posture and identify areas that need attention. The platform deploys in the cloud and is designed to be user-friendly, with an intuitive interface that doesn't require extensive training or technical expertise to operate. WireWheel's pricing model is positioned to be more accessible than enterprise-grade alternatives like OneTrust or TrustArc, making it a practical choice for organizations that need solid privacy compliance tooling without the complexity and cost of a full-featured privacy platform. However, the platform's feature set is less comprehensive than larger competitors, particularly in areas like consent management and vendor risk assessment, and its international presence is limited compared to global privacy platforms.
