OneTrust's technology sits as the epicenter of trust for organizations, enabling strong privacy, security, data governance, and ethics and compliance practices that underpin their digital transformation. As organizations strive for increasing levels of efficiency and agility in their transformation journey, they are looking for a platform approach to managing privacy, security, and governance requirements across an increasingly complex regulatory environment.
Today, 7,500 organizations, including more than half of the Fortune 500, use OneTrust's technology to comply with the world's privacy, security, and compliance requirements, including GDPR, CCPA, LGPD, ISO 27001, NIST, DOJ Guidelines, and hundreds of other laws and frameworks. The list of regulations an organization must comply with continues to rise. In 2020, sweeping privacy laws came into effect in California, Brazil, and others, and Gartner predicts 65% of the world's population will be covered under modern privacy regulations by 2023, compared to just 10% today.
