Navigating risk and upholding information security management system (ISMS) programs across an organization relies heavily on the ability to streamline and execute on internal audits and policy management operations.

On one hand, GRC teams face unique challenges in maintaining and objective and independent perspective, while also needing to engage the business to collect authentic and timely information for a valid investigation. On the other hand, GRC teams face challenges in streamlining the development, distribution and enforcement of policies across the organizations.

OneTrust GRC customers can leverage both new solutions to reinforce consistent security and operational controls across their business.

What is OneTrust Policy Management?

Policy Management is designed to support both the development and distribution of internal and public-facing policies across your organization.

Policy Management goes beyond just publishing policies, by automating policy distribution and measuring attestation to confirm both receipt and understanding.
