What's new

Expanded Global Regulation Catalogue

The regulation library now includes data protection laws for a significantly expanded list of countries and territories — including, among many others, South Africa (POPIA), Brazil (LGPD), China (PIPL, CSL, DSL), India, Japan, Singapore, the UAE, and numerous US state-level privacy laws (CCPA, Colorado CPA, Virginia CDPA, and more). Applicable legal bases and special categories of personal data have also been extended to cover these jurisdictions in all supported languages.

Attribute Templates for Personal Data and Purpose of Processing [NG-3941, NG-3943]

Administrators can now create and manage attribute templates for personal data and purpose of processing. These templates allow standard sets of attributes to be defined once and reused across ROPA records, reducing repetitive manual entry and improving consistency across your record of processing activities.

Redesigned Applicable Laws Screen [NG-2900]

The Applicable Laws management screen has been redesigned with an improved list view, clearer layout, and icons to help identify regulations at a glance. The edit flow has also been updated for a more structured experience when adding or modifying applicable regulations at project, ROPA, and vendor level.

Tags: Organisational Unit Department Tag Type

A new tag type for Organisational Unit Departments is now available in the Tags settings. This allows department-level tags to be defined and linked to relevant records more precisely.

Improvements

Applicable Laws – ROPA, Projects, Vendors: Regulations are now stored and displayed using a stable identifier rather than a shortcut code, ensuring consistent display of regulation names across all languages and preventing mismatches after data migration.

ROPA – Personal Data & Purpose of Processing: These sections now support regulation-specific attributes with per-regulation toggles, making it easier to track which attributes apply under which law.

ROPA – Categories and Legal Basis: Translations for special categories of personal data and legal basis entries are now resolved dynamically based on the user's selected language, replacing previously hard-coded values.

Organisational Units: The department selection in ROPA and Organisational Unit records now correctly saves and displays the selected department.

Controls: The last-editor information is now saved when a control record is updated.

International Standards: The screen now uses the platform's standard identifier approach, aligning it with the rest of the compliance module.

Quick Access: Stability improvements to the quick-access feature to prevent navigation edge cases.

Fixes

Applicable Laws: Fixed an issue where attributes with empty regulation entries could cause processing errors. [NG-3890]

ROPA – Purpose of Processing: Corrected handling of regulation data to remove duplicates and non-existent law references that could appear in the detail view.

Tags: Fixed the delete action so that the correct tag type identifier is used when removing a tag, preventing silent failures.

Polish regulation shortcuts: Corrected translation shortcut codes for Polish data protection regulations in the regulation catalogue.

Quick Access – Process: The close (×) button is now correctly disabled where it should not be available, preventing unintended dismissal. [NG-4056]
