Trace Announces Partnership with OneTrust

Trace the boutique data protection compliance consultancy, which has recently expanded into the US, has partnered with OneTrust to support clients to manage privacy risk effectively via its privacy management platform. 

This partnership represents a powerful blend of advisory, experience and right-sized technology and consultancy services which will support organisations at all stages of development to operationalise their privacy programmes. Trace’s recent establishment of a New York office deepens the transatlantic knowledge-sharing element of this partnership too.

Why is Trace partnering with OneTrust?

By partnering, Trace and OneTrust bring value by recognising opportunities and having a combined knowledge and understanding of privacy management. This allows for a holistic offerings approach to client centric compliance services. Trace provides consultancy, training and software services which can be augmented by OneTrust’s privacy management software as the client scales. 

How our services complement each other, for client benefit

  • The best blend of human and tech: at Trace we believe compliance works better when great tools are supported by expert knowledge. The partnership means our experienced, expert consultants can support OneTrust and Trace implementations, and offer personal expert support

  • A managed service: at Trace we know that compliance can be complex, and challenging to complete, by managing compliance software we can review the platform progress together

  • Outsourced Data Protection Officer (DPO) services: a DPO, whether in house or external needs to understand data processing and risks; the use of a privacy platform is essential for maintaining compliance processes.

How Trace can assist in your OneTrust implementation?

Trace can assist with managing the implementation of OneTrust into your organisation in many different ways, not only by providing actual implementation support, including for example integration with Trace and other applications and leveraging the automation possibilities offered by OneTrust, but also by performing implementation assurance checks and maintenance. 

We can support organisations that are already familiar with the tool and which have implemented one or more OneTrust modules in their environment, as well as organisations who wish to start the implementation of their first OneTrust module right now. 

What is OneTrust?
