A recognized privacy accountability and research platform, now integrated within TrustArc's broader privacy management ecosystem

Overview

Nymity is a privacy compliance and accountability platform that helps organizations manage their data protection obligations through research, templates, and operational tools. Originally founded as an independent privacy research firm, Nymity built a reputation for its comprehensive privacy management frameworks, benchmarking data, and accountability-focused methodology. The company's approach centers on helping privacy professionals demonstrate that their programs are functioning effectively, not just that policies exist on paper. Nymity's core offering includes a privacy management accountability framework, a library of privacy management activities, and research tools that allow organizations to benchmark their privacy programs against peers and regulatory expectations. The platform supports privacy teams in operationalizing compliance with GDPR, CCPA, and other global privacy regulations by providing structured guidance, templates, and evidence-gathering capabilities. In 2019, Nymity was acquired by TrustArc, a leading privacy compliance and technology company. As a TrustArc subsidiary, Nymity continues to operate and its research and accountability framework capabilities have been integrated into TrustArc's broader privacy management platform. The combined entity strengthens TrustArc's position as a comprehensive privacy compliance solution provider, with Nymity's research depth and accountability methodology complementing TrustArc's automation and assessment tools.
