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 a 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 primary data asset, from the plurality of data assets, that collects or stores personal data of one or more data subjects;

    identifying a first data inventory from the plurality of data inventories associated with the primary data asset, wherein the first data inventory comprises a plurality of fields that each define an inventory attribute of a plurality of inventory attributes of the primary data asset, wherein the plurality of inventory attributes of the primary data asset comprise;

    a type of personal data collected or stored by the primary data asset, andprimary transfer data associated with the personal data and the primary data asset;

    determining, for each of the plurality of fields, which of the plurality of fields are unpopulated inventory attribute fields;

    determining, for each of one or more of the unpopulated inventory attribute fields, one or more attribute values, wherein determining one or more attribute values comprises;

    identifying a transfer data asset from the plurality of data assets based at least in part on the primary transfer data,modifying the first data inventory to include the transfer data asset and to indicate one or more types of information that the primary asset transfers to the transfer data asset; and

    linking the primary data asset to the transfer data asset in the first data inventory;

    in response to determining the one or more attribute values, modifying the first data inventory to include the one or more attribute values for each of the one or more unpopulated inventory attributes fields by populating at least one of the one or more unpopulated inventory attribute fields with at least one or more types of information that the primary asset transfers to the transfer data asset; and

    storing the modified first data inventory in computer memory.
