PwC and OneTrust

Data trust and risk management reimagined, powered by OneTrust

Support your trust, business and risk management strategies through tech-enablement with PwC and OneTrust

Data trust has quickly become a business imperative. According to PwC’s 2023 Trust Survey, 50% of consumers say they have experienced a trust-damaging event, with the majority of those consumers saying they ended the relationship with the company. It’s time to put trust at the center of your data and risk management strategies.

Together, PwC and OneTrust can bring a coordinated and tailored approach to your data trust and risk management vision. OneTrust’s Trust Intelligence Platform provides a suite of privacy, AI governance, data governance, risk management, security, compliance, internal and third-party risk management, ESG, and other trust solutions.

Combined with PwC’s strategy, implementation, deployment, and change management knowledge, we can assist your business in governing, discovering, protecting, reducing and reporting on data so you can meet your ultimate data value objectives and help reduce risk.

Data trust challenges

In today’s complex and ever-changing regulatory landscape, organizations are facing a number of challenges when it comes to managing privacy, security, third-party, ESG, AI and overall data risks.

These challenges include:

Many organizations have a complex and fragmented data landscape, which makes it difficult to track and manage data.

Many organizations struggle to assess their data, privacy, security, third-party, and ESG risks; prioritize their risk mitigation efforts; and make informed decisions about how to manage their risks.

Data privacy and data protection regulations are becoming increasingly complex and demanding, making it increasingly difficult for organizations to track their compliance progress, identify compliance gaps, and remediate compliance issues.

Many organizations have manual processes for managing data, privacy, security, third-party, and ESG risks. This can be time-consuming and error-prone.

Many organizations struggle to measure the trust that their customers, employees, and other stakeholders have in them, lacking the tools to measure their trust posture and to track their progress over time. This makes it difficult for organizations to make improvements to their trust programs and to demonstrate their commitment to trust.

Other challenges include:

  • Ineffective implementation or difficulty scaling or maintaining privacy, third-party risk management (TPRM), governance, risk, compliance (GRC) capabilities
  • Lack of governance, visibility into data, automation, or duplicated activities attributing to inefficiencies in the Privacy, TPRM, or GRC programs
  • Challenge managing risk, compliance with regulations and frameworks, and enterprise issues leading to inability to inform business decision and demonstrate trust

Why PwC and OneTrust

As companies continue to use personal information in new ways, regulator and consumer scrutiny continues to rise, and the speed of risks increases, it is imperative to build a cohesive and holistic solution for their data trust and transparency objectives. Many organizations struggle to develop enhanced and sustainable data trust capabilities enabled by technology, but PwC and OneTrust can help.

  • Build a culture of data trust and transparency and maintain regulatory readiness
  • Enhance program operations and harmonize risk and compliance programs to help create a risk aware organization that can be both proactive and strategic
  • Develop a holistic view of risk to help mitigate internal and external privacy, security, and data risks

Enable your business through data trust

Maintaining regulatory readiness

Deploying privacy technology and supporting processes across the organization will help not only to meet immediate privacy requirements, but also prepare for upcoming applicable regulations

Building data trust

As consumers become more careful about sharing data, it's imperative for companies to meet the expectations and experience their consumers expect

Optimizing program operations

With the challenge of managing and operating a comprehensive privacy program, the goal is to not simply stand up a privacy program, but to understand how and where technology can help scale them

Helping realize customer value

As organizations continue to ingest a growing volume of personal information, a fundamentally sound data management program is key to improve decision-making and optimize usage of data

ESG and sustainability

Increased ESG reporting and verification often requires high quality ESG data in a complex data model, engaging multiple stakeholders. PwC has developed accelerators and entered into alliance relationships so we can help you deliver efficient, reliable, impactful and sustainable ESG outcomes.

"The trust issue is becoming more critical and challenging as we continue to see more laws, regulations and enforcement in areas like privacy, data protection, cybersecurity, third party risk management, digital safety and ESG, combined with accelerated innovation and adoption of emerging technologies such as generative AI; requiring greater operational management while posing increased risk for non-compliance. Many companies are looking to strike the balance between regulatory compliance and the need to unlock the value of their data so they can stay competitive. This is where data trust and transparency comes in. At its core, a data trust framework can help identify solutions above and beyond compliance — instead prioritizing the trust and value exchange between organizations and customers. Together PwC and OneTrust are helping companies be better positioned to innovate and enable business strategies at scale in a responsible and trustworthy manner"
