OneTrust

Privacy, AI governance, and compliance software platform serving 14,000+ customers worldwide

OneTrust is an Atlanta-based software company founded in 2016 by CEO Kabir Barday, specializing in governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) technology. Its platform covers consent management, data mapping, third-party risk assessments, and regulatory compliance automation, and holds more than 300 patents.

The company serves over 14,000 customers globally — including more than half of the Fortune 500 — across industries such as financial services, healthcare, and technology. It operates 10 offices worldwide and has raised $1.13 billion across 7 funding rounds, achieving unicorn status in 2019 at a peak valuation of $5.3 billion.

OneTrust has grown through key acquisitions, including UK-based regulatory intelligence platform DataGuidance (2019) and data discovery firm Integris Software (2020). In 2025, it launched the Privacy Breach Response Agent built with Microsoft Security Copilot, and integrated with Azure OpenAI to support model governance and compliance transparency.

In March 2026, OneTrust announced a repositioning around "AI-Ready Governance," reflecting its focus on preventing data misuse at scale as artificial intelligence adoption accelerates across enterprise environments — making its platform directly relevant to organizations navigating evolving AI and privacy regulations.

HDR Compliance Toolkit for Digital-Human Platforms
A B2B API and policy-template suite that helps companies building AI avatars and digital twins implement post-mortem data governance — automated consent checks, erasure workflows, and trustee notification — before regulators mandate it.
Why it helps: OneTrust is the dominant privacy-compliance platform; adding an HDR compliance module is a natural extension of its existing GDPR and AI-governance product lines, instantly addressable to its large existing client base.
