Privacy & Data GovernanceGovernance, Risk & Compliance
OneTrust Platform
Privacy management platform unifying data mapping, DSAR, consent, and risk assessments.
OneTrust Platform Overview
What it does
OneTrust Platform is a privacy management and data governance platform that gives an organization one place to discover, map, and control personal data across its systems. Rather than stitching together point tools for consent, data subject rights, and assessments, it unifies these functions on a shared system of record for data use, anchored by an ongoing inventory of processing activities and DataGuidance regulatory intelligence covering privacy laws across jurisdictions.
How it works
The platform builds a central inventory of data processing activities through data discovery and activity mapping, then drives privacy workflows from that inventory. Modules automate data subject access request (DSAR) intake through fulfillment, generate privacy impact and data protection assessments (PIA/DPIA), and capture cookie and universal consent as versioned, auditable records. A Consent and Preferences layer enforces those choices across web and marketing systems, while incident management guides breach assessment and regulatory notification timelines. Built-in DataGuidance research maps regulatory changes to affected processing activities.
Credentials and traction
OneTrust Platform holds SOC 2 Type II, ISO/IEC 27001:2022, and ISO 27701 certifications, the last covering privacy information management. OneTrust was named a Leader in The Forrester Wave for Privacy Management Software (Q4 2025) and a Visionary in the 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for AI Governance Platforms. More than 14,000 organizations, including over half of the Fortune 500, use the platform.
