Executing risk assessments
Helping %company% surface risks in a proactive, automated way
Increasing personal data collection, frequent breaches, and cross-border data transfers continue to drive complexity across global privacy regulations. Regulations including the GDPR and CPRA require organizations to perform privacy impact, transfer impact, legitimate interest and other types of assessments to understand the risks of their personal data use.
Moreover, privacy risk assessments serve as a foundational component for privacy programs to enable audit readiness, accelerate certifications, and provide supporting documentation for regulators and other stakeholders. Mitigating privacy risk without automation and a dedicated tool, these assessments are time-intensive and nearly impossible to perform at scale.
How OneTrust can helpOneTrust PIA & DPIA Automation enables organizations to consolidate information from internal and external stakeholders to gain both a technical and contextual understanding for how data is collected, the purpose for which its being used, where the data is located and what protections are in place. The tool is powered by OneTrust DataGuidance®, a database of global privacy laws, that backs dozens of built-in assessment templates and automated mitigation recommendations.

Customize your assessment templates
Build, import, or customize your assessment templates to meet the needs of your organization. Choose from over 250 available templates, including privacy impact assessments (PIA), vendor risk assessments, subject rights requests, and data breach incidents.
Deploy flexible, collaborative workflows
Whether an assessment is initiated by the privacy office or the project leader, define the end-to-end process from assignment to collaborative review and approval. Implement threshold assessments to determine if PIAs are necessary and set conditions to automatically escalate PIAs with high risk to DPIAs.
Flag and mitigate risk
As PIAs are submitted to the privacy office, risks are automatically flagged with illustrated severity, likelihood, and remediation recommendations provided. You can also manually flag risks and provide additional guidance on a project-by-project basis.
Demonstrate impact and compliance
Measure the effectiveness of your privacy program in mitigating your sources of risk. Maintain a complete record of privacy program activities, which may be exported as a full report for any project conducted by the privacy team to speed up internal and external audits.
