1. A data processing data inventory population system comprising;

  • one or more processors;

    computer memory; and

    a computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising;

    accessing a data model of a plurality of data assets used in the collection or storage of personal data, the data model defining one or more electronic links between the plurality of data assets and storing a plurality of data inventories that define a plurality of inventory attributes for each of the plurality of data assets;

    identifying a first data inventory from the plurality of data inventories, each of the plurality of data inventories being associated with a respective data asset, wherein the first data inventory comprises a plurality of fields that each define a respective inventory attribute of a first data asset associated with the first data inventory;

    determining, for each respective one of the plurality of fields of the first data inventory, whether the respective field is a populated inventory attribute field containing an attribute value for one of the plurality of inventory attributes, or an unpopulated inventory attribute field not containing an attribute value for one of the plurality of inventory attributes;

    determining, for each respective one of the one or more unpopulated inventory attribute fields, one or more attribute values for use in populating the respective unpopulated inventory attribute field, wherein determining the one or more attribute values comprises;

    retrieving a data asset questionnaire template,analyzing the data asset questionnaire template to identify one or more questions that each respectively map to one or more of the plurality of inventory attributes,generating a first data asset assessment based at least in part on the one or more questions that map to the one or more of the plurality of inventory attributes, anddetermining the one or more attribute values based at least in part on the first data asset assessment;

    in response to determining the one or more attribute values for each of the one or more unpopulated inventory attribute fields, modifying the first data inventory to include the one or more attribute values for each of the one or more unpopulated inventory attribute fields by populating each of the plurality of unpopulated inventory attribute fields with a respective one of the determined attribute values; and

    storing the modified first data inventory in computer memory.
