This month, we've focused on making it easier for users to identify critical privacy risks on their sites or portfolios. We’ve also streamlined access to insights relevant to your specific industry.
New! Critical Alert Types in Dashboard and Reports
We've expanded the "Critical Alert" features in Privacy Edge to help users quickly spot important issues. This now includes more social media scripts like embedded Twitter/X widgets and Facebook comment plugins, alongside the existing TikTok and Meta pixel alerts.
We've also added a new critical alert for domain hijacking, a security risk where a domain is taken over without permission.
Dashboard View
Find these new critical alerts in the Risk Scores tab in the critical risk scores box.
Critical Risk Filter
For users managing a portfolio of sites, you can now filter them to show those with critical risks.
Reason Code Details
The new reason codes and details will now appear in the Reason Code tab, accessible from the Risk Scores dashboard.
Summary Reports
The new critical risks will also be included in the summary reports, available through the Reports dashboard.
Why are these considered critical risks? Learn more about the privacy concerns surrounding them.
Industry Classification Improvements
Automated Classification
Privacy Edge can now more reliably determine and set your industry by using the site name, homepage meta description, title, and top words found across the site—previously, it relied only on top words. These enhancements improve the accuracy of automated industry classification, though we still recommend manual classification for the most precise results. Setting your organization's industry will customize insights based on the regulations specific to that industry.
New Industry Categories for Healthcare
New healthcare laws are broadening the scope of businesses covered, and we’ve updated the product to reflect these changes. Certain types of data sharing will now be classified as critical risks for the following industries:
- Healthcare
- Pharmaceutical
- Medical Devices and Supplies
- Biotechnology
- Wellness and Fitness
