We're interrupting this red hot privacy enforcement news cycle to break down an ALL too buzzworthy topic du jour: "code scanning"

It sounds comprehensive. It sounds deep, man. But does it actually give privacy leaders the full picture of what’s happening with your data?

In the latest #PrivacyHuddle, Colleen Barry sits down with Ketch Co-founder and Head of Product Maxwell Anderson to unpack the buzz.

At a glance:

◾ Code scanning is an interesting, but small part of data visibility

◾ The majority of critical data collection, such as on your website, doesn’t live in the code—it happens through third-party script configurations.
◾ To make sure you're getting a full sweep, ask your vendor, "How do you ensure you’re capturing all data collected by third-party SaaS tools?"
