OneTrust

OneTrust is the unified platform designed to help global organizations manage the complex intersection of privacy, risk, and compliance. Facing intense regulatory scrutiny and the rapid expansion of AI, businesses need more than siloed tools; they need comprehensive control. OneTrust addresses this by automating compliance, embedding governance across the data lifecycle, and significantly reducing organizational risk, enabling IT leaders and governance teams to build trust and drive innovation responsibly.

Key Features

OneTrust delivers a comprehensive suite of solutions through a unified, purpose-built shared data model, ensuring cross-team efficiency and consistent policy enforcement across your entire enterprise.

🤖 Advanced AI Governance

Embed compliance and control directly across the entire AI lifecycle—from initial model development to deployment and monitoring. This capability ensures that your data collection is responsible, risk decisions are AI-enabled, and policies are enforced programmatically, allowing your organization to unlock innovation at the speed of AI without sacrificing ethical oversight.

⚖️ Data Subject Request (DSR) Automation

Move beyond manual processes that drain time and introduce error. OneTrust automates the entire fulfillment of Data Subject Requests (DSRs) and Subject Rights Requests (SRRs), covering intake, mandatory ID verification, data discovery across systems, necessary redaction, and secure response. This dramatically improves operational efficiency and ensures consistent compliance with global privacy mandates.

🍪 Universal Consent & Preference Management

Streamline user transparency and consent capture across all digital touchpoints. The platform provides a powerful Consent Management Platform (CMP) to capture and manage cookie consent across websites, mobile apps, and connected TV (OTT) apps. Furthermore, it offers a single, intuitive portal for consumers to manage their preferences and first-party data, fostering deeper trust and better data quality.

🛡️ Comprehensive Third-Party Risk Management

Automate the entire third-party lifecycle, from initial intake and due diligence to ongoing monitoring and offboarding. Leverage the integrated Third-Party Risk Exchange to instantly access risk analytics and control gap reports on thousands of vendors, allowing your team to assess, mitigate, and respond to supply chain threats in real time.

🌎 Real-Time Regulatory Intelligence

Stay ahead of the evolving global regulatory landscape with DataGuidance. This feature provides a central portal delivering same-day updates and expert analysis from over 40+ in-house researchers and a network of 500+ lawyers covering 300 jurisdictions. This embedded intelligence ensures your privacy and compliance programs are always based on the most current global requirements.

Use Cases

OneTrust allows organizations to operationalize complex compliance requirements into streamlined, actionable workflows across multiple departments.

1. Scaling Global Data Subject Rights Fulfillment

A multinational corporation receives thousands of DSRs monthly across 15 different jurisdictions. Using OneTrust’s DSR Automation, the company configures a single workflow that automatically verifies the requestor’s identity, triggers automated data discovery across HR and CRM systems, redacts sensitive information as required by local law, and securely fulfills the request within the mandated timeframe, ensuring compliance while reducing staff time spent by up to 75%.

2. Implementing New AI Ethics Policies

A financial services firm is deploying a new machine learning model for loan approvals. They use OneTrust’s AI Governance module to define and embed ethical use policies directly into the model's development pipeline. The system automatically monitors the model for drift or bias based on predefined risk metrics, ensuring continuous compliance with internal policy and forthcoming AI regulations before the model ever goes live.

3. Proactive Audit Readiness and Compliance Visibility

A large organization needs to maintain SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certifications simultaneously. Using the Compliance Automation tools, they map controls across both frameworks. OneTrust automatically connects to external systems to collect evidence (e.g., access logs, policy sign-offs) in real-time. This eliminates redundant manual evidence collection, providing proactive audit preparation and a singular Risk Index view of ongoing threats and compliance status across all business scopes.

Why Choose OneTrust?

OneTrust is trusted by over 14,000 companies, including 75 of the Fortune 100, because it provides verifiable efficiency gains and a platform built specifically for the scale and complexity of modern governance.
