Ketch and Cvent

Find the custom fields collecting attendee dietary needs, accessibility requirements, and other event-specific personal data that a generic discovery scan wouldn't know to look for.

Cvent

About Cvent

Cvent manages events, conferences, meetings, and trade shows end to end, from registration through post-event analytics. Event registration forms are exactly the kind of place custom fields proliferate: dietary restrictions, accessibility accommodations, session preferences, RFP details, all captured through fields a specific event organizer defined for their specific event, not through Cvent's own standard schema.

Ketch connects to Cvent to discover all of those custom fields automatically.

Capabilities

How Ketch works with Cvent

The mechanism works by authenticating against Cvent's OAuth endpoint, retrieving an access token, and then paginating through Cvent's custom-fields endpoint across every object category. Discovered fields appear in the Assets tab of the Cvent system inside the Ketch UI, organized by category, and Ketch can generate privacy findings directly from what's discovered, for example flagging personal data not yet covered by a DSR workflow.

Discovery

Automatically finding custom fields across Cvent's object categories. Connects via OAuth 2.0 Client Credentials and scans custom fields across eleven object categories: Contact, Event, Session, Survey, Campaign, RFP, Appointment, Resource, User, Abstract, and Budget Item. For each field, Ketch retrieves the field name, its category, a unique field code, and its data type.

With Ketch, teams can

  • Discover custom fields across eleven Cvent object categories, including ones easy to overlook like Survey, RFP, and Abstract/speaker submissions
  • Surface event-specific personal data, like dietary preferences and accessibility needs, that a generic contact-fields-only scan would miss
  • Get automatic privacy findings that flag gaps, like discovered data not yet covered by rights or consent workflows

The gap

The problem this integration solves

Event registration forms generate custom fields specific to each event, and those fields are exactly the kind a generic data discovery approach tends to miss:

01. A discovery tool built around standard CRM fields alone misses the custom fields event organizers define for dietary needs, accessibility accommodations, or session-specific preferences

02. Personal data in event platforms spans far more object categories than just contacts: sessions, surveys, RFPs, and budget items can all carry custom fields with personal data

03. Manually cataloging custom fields across eleven different object categories for every event doesn't scale

Ketch resolves this by discovering custom fields across all eleven object categories automatically, so event-specific personal data doesn't stay invisible just because it lives in a category outside the usual contact record.

Why Ketch

Why teams choose Ketch for Cvent privacy compliance

Permissioning infrastructure that governs Cvent the same way it governs every other system in your stack — not a one-off connector bolted onto a banner.

  • Covers the full breadth of event data, not just contacts

    Eleven object categories are scanned, including ones like Survey, RFP, and Abstract that a narrower discovery tool would skip.

  • Surfaces sensitive event-specific fields

    Dietary preferences and accessibility needs, common custom fields on event registration forms, get discovered the same as any other personal data field.

  • Discovery that produces findings, not just an inventory

    Ketch surfaces specific gaps, like personal data not yet covered by a DSR workflow, directly from what discovery finds.
