Transcend, the fastest-growing privacy platform¹, has unveiled Workflows, a significant enhancement designed to help privacy teams automate even the most complex data privacy processes without writing a single line of code. The new no-code builder expands Transcend’s powerful automation engine, enabling businesses to handle growing volumes and varieties of privacy requests with speed and precision – all while cutting overhead costs.
As privacy regulations evolve and user requests become more diverse, privacy teams often struggle to keep pace without adding headcount or operational burden. With Workflows, teams can easily configure and automate everything from straightforward data deletion or access requests to sophisticated, multi-system actions like adjusting communication preferences across user groups and jurisdictions.
“Privacy should accelerate-not hinder-business operations,” said Ben Brook, CEO and co-founder of Transcend. “Workflows positions privacy teams to proactively embed essential privacy controls into business systems, making privacy an enabler of innovation rather than a source of friction.”
Workflows operates through an intuitive, centralized interface within the Transcend platform, which connects directly to an organization’s entire business ecosystem. This approach allows privacy teams to automate faster, iterate on processes easily, and adapt quickly to new compliance demands — all without engineering support.

Key advantages include:

Efficiency for lean teams: Deploy advanced privacy controls for various request types in just a few clicks.
-
Reduced overhead: Automate complex workflows, potentially saving hundreds of hours and significant costs each year.
-
Flexible, future-ready automation: Customize request logic through the no-code builder to stay ahead of shifting regulations and business needs.
“Workflows extends Transcend’s end-to-end automation by making it even more accessible,” added Krishna Bhat, VP of Product at Transcend. “With our breadth of integrations — and now the ability to orchestrate them seamlessly – privacy programs gain the clarity, control, and confidence they need to operate at scale.”
The launch of Workflows complements Transcend’s broader privacy infrastructure suite, which also includes consent and preference management, as well as data discovery and classification. The initial rollout centers on automating Data Subject Requests, with additional capabilities for Preference Management use cases planned for release in the coming months.
By simplifying privacy operations for organizations of any size, Transcend aims to help privacy teams stay compliant, minimize risk, and turn privacy into a strategic business advantage.
