Privva
Cybersecurity and Venture Risk Assessment Platform
Company
A company located in Arlington, VA, the company was originally a startup focusing on cybersecurity and venture risk assessment. They utilize 3rd party vendor questionnaires, testing, and data collation to determine the risk of companies working with outside vendors and they calculate risk scores that align with each company’s security preferences.
Position
UX Consultant | As a UX Consultant, I advised and worked together with the project manager on various Proof of Concepts (POCs), such as revised data graphs, stakeholder agendas, such as new client and vendor features, and team finds, such as bugs and various reorganizations and additions to their client account portal.

MVP + Vis Learns
Speed of the work and how that allowed for more visual designs and MVP design work based off POCs but the work was mainly based on the company’s vision and the stakeholder’s user preferences and goals for their product’s features and functions. Work flow was MVP based, which meant that the first iteration was made in a short time frame and with a mid to high-fi design with less prototyping and interactive additions but with more tagged notes and bigger picture ideas saved for later.
***Reasoning for this . . . the stakeholders know the product well enough and the way in which it functions with the clients and vendors well enough to suggest designs they would like to implement. Is it always a bad thing or a good thing? In this case, the product is complicated and also adaptable.

For those who have seen the Earth from space, and for the hundreds and perhaps thousands more who will, the experience most certainly changes your perspective. The things that we share in our world are far more valuable than those which divide us.
It suddenly struck me that that tiny pea, pretty and blue, was the Earth. I put up my thumb and shut one eye, and my thumb blotted out the planet Earth. I didn’t feel like a giant. I felt very, very small.

A Few Projects and Finds
An Automatic Extension Request was the first project I worked on with Privva. They were looking to create a process for a client to accept and extend assessments and for vendors to submit requests and respond to a client’s extension approval or denial. Additionally, they were looking to select dates that worked within the client’s assessment time frame, such as 2 months, 3 months, and 6 months.

When you type in the HEX code, the Hex code would automatically fill in a different HEX code and when you refreshed it would change color. Apparently, this was a bug that could be fixed on the developer side.

This project was linked to the auto-extension project, where the online portal process of extending an assessment would be connected to reminder and approval emails. Other general email templates and various scenario-based templates were created as well.
