Here are a couple excerpts from customers that contributed to the distinction:

• “It’s extremely easy to use, intuitive, and allows for customization. Their implementation process was also flawless.” – CEO, Media Industry, 50–250M USD
• “I’ve primarily worked out of the vendor risk management (VRM) module. I love it. I’ve worked in some challenging VRM tools and this UI is my favorite I’ve worked in thus far.” – Security and Risk Management, Miscellaneous Industry, <50M USD

In the past year, OneTrust has been recognized by analysts by continuing to deliver results for our customers. OneTrust was named a “Leader” in the 2021 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for IT Vendor Risk Management Tools and recognized in the 2021 Gartner® Critical Capabilities for IT Vendor Risk Management Tools.

Why OneTrust for IT VRM? Reduce Risks. Build Trust. Manage All Third Parties Across Security, Privacy, Ethics & Compliance, and ESG

Businesses face major challenges in today’s world of changing regulations and an increased reliance on third parties, as well as data privacy- and security-conscious consumers. If critical data is shared with unsecure third parties, or a third party doesn’t reflect your values, your company’s reputation and future may be at risk. Because of this, businesses must prioritize the security, privacy, and compliance of the vendors they work with. However, reducing vendor-related risks, keeping detailed compliance records, and monitoring third parties over time is a daunting initiative that doesn’t scale when done through spreadsheets and emails.

OneTrust’s Third-Party Trust solutions are leading the industry to help solve these complex challenges. The technology platform enables both businesses and vendors with technology solutions that prioritize trustworthy relationships, including:

• Third-Party Due Diligence software, which helps organizations conduct compliance checks and screening, analyze risks, provide treatment plans, and maintain ongoing oversight by monitoring key ethics & compliance concerns, such as adverse media and corruption.
• Third-Party Risk Management software, which helps organizations reduce vendor risks relating to security and privacy, solving challenges such as automating vendor security and privacy assessments, managing and monitoring your vendor inventory, and streamlining risk mitigation.
• Supplier Sustainability & Responsibility software, which helps organizations assess their suppliers’ ESG programs, analyze reputational risk, create supplier ESG scorecards and set targets, as well as monitor the sustainability and responsibility initiatives of suppliers.

Additionally, we offer our Trust Suite for Vendors, which helps third parties promote their trust initiatives to potential customers and easily respond to security questionnaires. This suite includes:

• Trust Profile, which enables vendors to centralize security, privacy, and compliance documentation in a shareable, customer-ready format.
• Questionnaire Response Automation, which allows vendors to automatically answer any incoming security questionnaires – even custom ones.

Lastly, OneTrust brings businesses and vendors closer together via the Vendorpedia Exchange Community. The Exchange is a global community that helps organizations, and their third parties, seamlessly communicate, enabling secure information sharing to establish mutual trust.

“We believe OneTrust has introduced the leading technology solution to help thousands of customers achieve ongoing IT vendor risk management,” said Jaymin Desai, OneTrust Vendorpedia Offering Manager. “We will continue to develop innovative solutions that support compliance operations and remain committed to changing the way the world sees trust.”

To our customers, thank you! Your support and guidance continue to shape our product offerings and vision for the future of third-party trust. As we continue to innovate solutions to support IT VRM needs, we look forward to building on the customer experience that earned us this distinction!
