Capabilities / Domain

Privacy, Consent & Compliance

CIAM sits on the most regulated data a company holds: who its customers are. This domain captures, stores, audits, and honors consent, and proves compliance with GDPR, CCPA, and sector rules. For regulated industries it is often the reason CIAM is bought at all.

What to ask a CIAM vendor

  • Is consent captured per purpose and in context, or as a single blanket checkbox?
  • Can a customer withdraw consent and have it propagate across downstream systems in real time?
  • Is there a tamper-evident, regulator-ready audit trail of every consent event?
