OneTrust Empowers Organizations to Navigate the Complex US Privacy Landscape

Streamline compliance and approach US data privacy requirements with confidence

AUSTIN, Texas, May 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- As privacy regulations continue to evolve and proliferate across the United States (US), organizations face mounting challenges in ensuring compliance with various state and federal mandates. In response to this pressing need, OneTrust, the market-defining leader for trust intelligence, is announcing its comprehensive suite of solutions designed to assist organizations in navigating the complex landscape of US privacy laws and enabling responsible data use across the entire data lifecycle.

 These solutions come at a critical time, with 18 comprehensive US state privacy laws enacted across the United States today, alongside a proposed federal law. Moreover, by the end of 2024, nine of these laws will be in effect. As organizations already grapple with more than 4,500 regulatory updates per year, a number that is expected to grow as US privacy laws proliferate, the need for effective solutions becomes increasingly urgent.

"The proliferation of US privacy laws is creating an increasingly fragmented regulatory environment and presents significant challenges for organizations across industries," stated Emily McEvilly, Chief Customer Officer at OneTrust. "Since the onset of the GDPR, we've been partnering with customers to arm them with the tools and resources that help them navigate the complex regulatory landscape with agility and efficiency. They've told us that our platform provides the automation, visibility, and intelligence to take a proactive approach to data privacy compliance. That's why I'm excited about OneTrust moving beyond compliance to empower organizations to integrate privacy into their businesses, unlock the value of their data, foster trust, and scale innovation to new heights."
