Transcend

aid: transcend-io
name: Transcend
description: >-
  Transcend is a privacy and data permissioning platform that helps enterprises decide in real time whether customer
  data can be used for a given purpose. The platform spans data discovery and inventory, data subject request
  automation, consent and preference management, privacy assessments, and an AI governance layer that enforces policies
  at the source. Transcend's Sombra security gateway runs inside customer environments so Transcend itself never
  accesses customer data or API keys. Developers integrate via a REST API documented with OpenAPI, a GraphQL API for
  non-personal data and configuration tasks, an official CLI distributed on npm, and a transcend.yml configuration file
  that lets teams manage their data map as code. The platform serves AI, consumer, healthcare, fintech, media, and B2B
  enterprises.
