OneTrust, the AI-ready governance platform, today announced a series of new capabilities to help governance teams address the complexity and speed of AI. In a recent report from OneTrust, governance teams reported a 37% increase in the time they spent managing AI risk this year. AI has changed both how and what organizations govern, and OneTrust’s recent innovations are designed to help teams keep pace with these demands.

"AI is creating powerful new engines for efficiency, decision-making, and innovation," said DV Lamba, Chief Technology Officer at OneTrust. "Governance professionals can lead this transformation by defining AI’s role in risk management, compliance, and governance. OneTrust has built a governance platform to address the breadth of challenges AI introduces across the tech stack. With capabilities spanning automated workflows to AI agents and more, OneTrust is making continuous governance possible and giving organizations the operational catalyst they need to thrive in the AI era."

The innovations OneTrust announced today include:

OneTrust Third-Party Risk Agent: Intake a third party and identify critical risks in minutes, not months

Traditional third-party risk assessments are manual and slow, requiring tedious project management that can go on for weeks or even months, wasting resources and delaying third-party selection and onboarding. The OneTrust Third-Party Risk Agent targets the most painful bottlenecks to automate intake, accelerate assessment, summarize key findings, flag risks and issues, and guide monitoring and response to critical risk events. This allows teams to quickly validate findings and inform third-party selection with confidence.  

 

OneTrust Privacy Agent: Helping privacy pros accelerate risk reviews

Privacy Impact Assessments (PIA) have long required privacy professionals to spend hours gathering documents, interviewing stakeholders, and filling out lengthy questionnaires to create business context. OneTrust’s Privacy Agent automates this work by analyzing project documents and converting them into structured assessment responses within minutes. With scalable knowledge of past assessments, this agent enables privacy teams to accelerate reviews with consistency, context, and confidence.

 

Continuous AI Governance Synchronization with Databricks Unity Catalog: Enabling governance teams with the real-time AI project information they need

AI speed brings AI complexity, meaning governance teams often struggle to get up-to-date information across the AI development lifecycle. Now, continuous synchronization of AI projects between OneTrust and Databricks gives governance teams centralized, real-time visibility into AI development and helps them track what is being built, where it lives, and what data it touches. This native integration ensures that any model registered in Databricks Unity Catalog is also available in OneTrust to create a single source of truth. 

 

Privacy Automation Discovery: Data mapping that matches the speed of your business

This new capability reduces the manual, time-consuming work of discovering and classifying personal data while giving privacy teams faster, more accurate visibility into how data is used across the business. The OneTrust platform automatically discovers and monitors structured and unstructured data stored in databases, buckets, blob storage, other cloud sources, and file shares. Once assets are discovered, automated data classification adds business context to the privacy team’s data map, closing the gap between business and technical understanding of data use in the organization.  

 

Defining the Future of AI-Ready Governance

The innovations announced today are the latest brought to market as part of OneTrust’s commitment to embedding AI directly into its platform. They join a suite of AI-driven capabilities spanning agents, AI-assisted workflows, and Copilots that are transforming how organizations achieve continuous governance.

AI has changed both what organizations govern and how they govern. OneTrust’s 2025 AI-Ready Governance Report reveals how governance teams are responding to this new reality, the challenges they are facing, and how they plan to achieve governance at scale. Download a copy of the report here.
