Senior Compliance Manager at Cedar Cares, Inc.

The implementation of OneTrust could have been smoother, particularly in terms of scoping for those outside of governance, risk, and compliance. It can be confusing for individuals who need to understand the scope of regulatory controls and requirements. This complexity can be frustrating both internally and with implementation experts. Additionally, scalability can be overwhelming for smaller organizations.

Steve Peacock

Director - Security & Compliance at Venzo

I recently implemented the platform for a large multinational client operating in 28 countries with diverse risk management needs across privacy, cyber, and group strategy. Its configurable nature allowed us to tailor risk attributes and visibility filters specific to each organizational unit, enhancing compliance effectiveness. Automation has significantly optimized compliance processes. For example, automating vendor risk assessments at a global jewelry company reduced process time and dependencies among legal, cyber, and ESG teams, enhancing agility and efficiency. OneTrust's CyberScores and Security Scorecard feature provided independent risk assessments for vendors, facilitating informed decisions. This capability was instrumental in aligning IT risk management with privacy team requirements, ensuring robust vendor evaluations. Integration with existing systems was smooth overall, leveraging robust API for customized reporting. However, managing custom attributes required additional effort to align with reporting needs, necessitating a translation mechanism in tools like Power BI. I would recommend it and rate it a nine.

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."
"There could be enhancements related to AI."

ROI

OneTrust GRC provides multifunctionality and automation in a single tool, allowing small teams to manage various tasks efficiently. Despite some expressing dissatisfaction with narrow use cases and questionable ROI, others report significant time savings, faster console management, and a substantial return on investment. Users benefitted from automating processes previously handled with Excel and achieved favorable pricing terms, enhancing its value proposition.

Pricing

Enterprise buyers note that OneTrust GRC's pricing is generally considered expensive, though negotiation is possible to adjust costs based on usage and needs. Licensing is approximately $15,000 per module, and customization can result in varied costs, especially for multinational deployments. Some users find pricing reasonable given the value derived from specific modules, emphasizing the importance of maximizing value from the purchased modules. Ratings suggest it is on the pricey side, reaching up to an eight on a ten-point scale.
