OneTrust spans consent, privacy operations, technology and third-party risk, and AI governance. Privacy Automation or Tech Risk & Compliance are more relevant comparisons for internal compliance than the cookie banner alone.
Pricing is quoted with module-specific units: average visitors for CMP, users and asset inventory for Privacy Automation. One module's cost is not the platform-wide cost.
It suits cross-team governance programs. A single small website may be better served by a focused CMP. Assessment export APIs exist; scope and permissions belong in the contract. No module replaces the organization's compliance decisions.
Practical uses
Organize privacy assessments.
Track technology and vendor risks.
Coordinate consent and data subject requests by module.
