OneTrust Raises $200 Million Series A | $1.3 Billion Valuation
Organizations are facing the burden of having to comply with an increasingly complex set of privacy and security laws and standards in order to do business, most notably the California CCPA, European GDPR, ISO27001, and hundreds more. These laws require organizations to formalize how they keep track of personal data, have better decision making around their use of data, and provide transparency and choice to consumers.
OneTrust has quickly grown to address these challenges through three primary software offerings:
-
OneTrust Privacy Management Software: Helping organizations map and assess their data collection processes, respond to incidents, and automatically generate compliance reporting for any privacy law.
-
OneTrust PreferenceChoice™: Consent and preference management software to help marketers provide transparency and choice in their customer engagement efforts.
-
OneTrust Vendorpedia™: Vendor and Third-party risk management software and vendor risk exchange to help security, risk, and procurement professionals know that their vendors are safe to do business with.
Products within these offerings are popularly used to automate CCPA and GDPR requirements of “right to be forgotten,” “access,” and “do not sell.”
