Gore, widely recognized for its innovative medical devices and Gore-Tex fabrics, has successfully built a robust data privacy and compliance program through its partnership with OneTrust. By integrating multiple modules within the OneTrust platform, Gore has streamlined its global compliance efforts and strengthened its data privacy initiatives.
A trusted partner in building data privacy
Gore has used OneTrust since 2017, becoming one of the platform's early adopters. "It's really nice to have a company like OneTrust that has integrity, that you can trust, that you have confidence in as you're building a privacy program," shares Troy Lorents. This trust has enabled Gore to transition from using spreadsheets and other tools to a more sophisticated and reliable system that supports their privacy program.
Centralizing compliance efforts across multiple business areas
Over the years, Gore has integrated several modules within the OneTrust platform, including data mapping, assessments, vendor risk management, and third-party due diligence. "For us, the importance of that is to have one tool, one solution that we can always go into to manage multiple areas of our business," Lorents explains. This centralization has allowed Gore to reduce the number of applications needed across their compliance, information security, and privacy roles, making their operations more streamlined and efficient.
Navigating global compliance with confidence
As a global company operating in regions like Japan, Europe, and the US, Gore relies on OneTrust DataGuidance to navigate the complex and rapidly changing privacy laws across the world. "It's a competitive advantage to know that you have a tool like OneTrust that you can trust in as you go forward and build your company culture," Lorents notes. With OneTrust, Gore is well-equipped to stay ahead of regulatory changes and continue strengthening their global compliance and privacy efforts.
