The implementation of OneTrust could have been smoother, particularly in terms of scoping for those outside of governance, risk, and compliance.

Valuable Features

OneTrust GRC's strengths include an all-in-one tool for privacy programs, Vendorpedia's vendor assessment support, and an intuitive interface. It excels in fourth-party risk management, cloud-based IT and vendor risk tools, policy management, and GDPR/ISO compliance templates. Its user-friendly design helps in compliance program setup and incident management. Multinational visibility into data protection regulations is provided without extensive technical configurations. Functions are interconnected, benefiting complex jurisdictions.

"The platform is especially useful in startup environments where we're typically starting from scratch."
"The privacy impact assessment automation tool and the incident management tool are very user-friendly."
"The simplicity of OneTrust GRC, particularly its user interface, is valuable as it makes it easy to use and not complex."

Room for Improvement

OneTrust GRC needs improvement in integration capabilities and workflow automation. Users find setup and naming conventions challenging. The platform lacks flexibility in audit and compliance and customization in modules. International use is difficult due to its architecture not being multinational-friendly. Integration between modules is incomplete. The platform is primarily suited for IT risk management, requiring better business risk capabilities. User support and professional services need enhancement, alongside implementing AI for improved automation.

"The implementation of OneTrust could have been smoother, particularly in terms of scoping for those outside of governance, risk, and compliance."
"I wish there were more customization options, particularly within the privacy rights automation module."

Pricing
