What is 4Comply?

It empowers legal, marketing, and technical teams to work together without slowing business down. As data privacy becomes a core business requirement, 4Comply ensures compliance and trust.

Why 4Comply?

4Comply helps you:

Ensure you have valid, auditable consent—wherever it’s collected. Consent refers to the explicit agreement from an individual to collect, store, or use their data. 4Comply provides a structured and trackable system to record when and how consent was given—essential for regulatory compliance and organizational accountability.

Permission is the actionable outcome of your legal basis for communication. 4Comply makes it easy for systems and users to ask, “Do we currently have permission to communicate with this person?” and get a clear, reliable answer based on past consent events. This protects your outreach efforts and your brand reputation.

Data Subject Access Requests (DSARs) require timely, thorough responses. 4Comply automates the intake, verification, tracking, and fulfillment processes—reducing manual effort and ensuring you confidently meet legal deadlines.

Auditors and regulators expect a clear record of actions taken. 4Comply’s immutable audit trail provides that assurance and supports defensible compliance.

No need to rebuild your stack. 4Comply fits your existing workflows, letting your teams move quickly without compromising compliance. Native integrations are available for Adobe Marketo Engage and Oracle Eloqua, with additional options for custom or third-party systems via our robust API.  Enterprise SSO available through SAML connections.
