Creates robust rules for communication and data security, boosting compliance measures
I was talking with some engineer from Microsoft about how we can audit our web page. They create or add to Microsoft Purview Communication Compliance that part, the Layer seven of the OSI model, to check the application and maintain a good practice of coding. I've tried the web page part, and it works great. However, monitoring and compliance for web applications could be improved.
Gerald Pegg - PeerSpot reviewer
Streamlined incident management with user-friendly automation tools and responsive support
I use OneTrust specifically for incident management. For my company, I helped to create the incident management program that we currently use, particularly with gathering the information and sending out assessments to different vendors to collect information for further research and discovery.  I…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Customer support is excellent."
"Microsoft Purview Communication Compliance helps with extra collaboration and ensures communication is within the framework."
"The product helps us streamline audit and incident management processes."
"The privacy impact assessment automation tool and the incident management tool are very user-friendly."
"We have data from Jira regarding addiction related to Europe as well as California. Additionally, we have data related to the Indian Data Protection Bill. Therefore, GDPR compliance is highly beneficial."
"As a solution for IT risks, it is a very good product."
"The platform is especially useful in startup environments where we're typically starting from scratch."
"It does help in the automation of our privacy impact assessments."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it already has visibility about all the data protection regulations or other cybersecurity regulations related to several countries"
"Vendors can be assessed and rated out of the tool, and assessments can be scheduled for updates at certain intervals."
 

Cons

"Monitoring and compliance for web applications could be improved."
"The product should incorporate more automation with the help of AI."
"I haven't seen any return on investment using the solution. If I had the opportunity, I would use a different solution."
"We encounter difficulties creating multiple platforms or interfaces and manual processes for changing certain settings."
"The product is not that easy to set up."
"There are several areas for improvement. One is the integration capability. Connecting various DSAR systems can be time-consuming if a single integration takes months to complete."
"The Vendor Risk dashboard is quite basic today and not interactive, but improvements are in coming the next releases."
"They could improve by offering free help. A solution, a lot of times, is not just the use of the solution. For example, it is the overall engagement, how well do they support the system, what is their SLA, and how long their response time is to an issue. It would be beneficial if they had some type of professional services where they offer the first five hours of professional services a year for free. That would be a substantial benefit rather than having to buy professional services or professional services packages."
"I wish there were more customization options, particularly within the privacy rights automation module."
"OneTrust GRC's workflows aren't automated and need to be manually driven."
