Streamlined workflow and enhanced simplicity with an easy setup

Streamlined incident management with user-friendly automation tools and responsive support
I use OneTrust specifically for incident management. For my company, I helped to create the incident management program that we currently use, particularly with gathering the information and sending out assessments to different vendors to collect information for further research and discovery.  I…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"There are lots of features."
"The most valuable feature is that everybody can use the same tool. You can give a person permission to use AuditBoard and define their access to the Audit Table. For example, we can allow external auditors or clients to review our completed tests. The clients are attached to specific tests that happen regularly, like inventory counts and asset counts. Debt compliance is only done once annually."
"In AuditBoard, there are all the audit steps, including documentation, archiving, and tracking the progress of audits."
"The most valuable feature of AuditBoard is its ability to facilitate the editing of work papers in a seamless and efficient manner. This is achieved through a built-in tool that allows for real-time editing without the need for downloading the working paper. This feature has proven to be incredibly time-saving for me as it eliminates the step of having to download the file and make changes, instead providing an easy-to-access "edit work paper" option. Overall, this feature has greatly improved my experience with AuditBoard and has been a significant contributor to its success in my opinion."
"I find the most significant elements of this solution are the out-of-the-box reporting, the ease of workflow, workflow management, and the ease of managing our audit process."
"For AuditBoard, the simple workflow made it very easy to code with the group."
"The most significant feature of AuditBoard is its community tools. It provides an internal communication platform that enables users to communicate within the system rather than relying on external tools such as Outlook or Microsoft products. By communicating within the system, all interactions are centralized and accessible, promoting a streamlined workflow."
"The most valuable feature is the well-documented instruction."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it already has visibility about all the data protection regulations or other cybersecurity regulations related to several countries"
"The product helps us streamline audit and incident management processes."
"OneTrust GRC offers policy management, including documentation, distribution, attestation, and policy management."
"One of the most beneficial features of the product has been its cloud-based IT and vendor risk management tools, along with built-in templates for GDPR and ISO compliance."
"OneTrust GRC is stable."
"The simplicity of OneTrust GRC, particularly its user interface, is valuable as it makes it easy to use and not complex."
"One of the valuable features of this solution is it has the ability to review fourth and fifth parties to the nth degree."
"It does help in the automation of our privacy impact assessments."
 

Cons

"The initial setup is somewhat difficult because it has multiple pieces that need to be stitched together. You have to integrate it with the business unit you want to test if you want to go down from the corporate level to the operational level."
"Everything is there, and I have no disadvantage to note as of now."
"After sending out a request to my network for documents, it would be great to have a receipt that shows who received the request and who did not."
"A handful of things in the solution need to be improved. One of them is better communication of updates to the system or tool itself."
"AuditBoard could benefit from the addition of video capabilities, although it is not a necessity. Small companies that cannot afford licenses for Microsoft Teams or Zoom would benefit greatly from this feature, as it would enhance the communication process."
"AuditBoard has the potential for improvement in a few key areas. Firstly, I have experienced instances where the platform has experienced technical issues and ceased to function effectively. Additionally, the editing tools provided within the platform can be slow and laggy, particularly when trying to access and edit important documents. This can be a hindrance to my workflow and efficiency. To address these issues, they should begin by improving the speed and reliability of the platform, as well as enhancing the search engine to make it easier to find specific controls and documents within the platform."
"AuditBoard is overly simple in some instances and there needs to be flexibility to make it more robust."
"It is not easy to analyze the results of a survey as a whole."
"There are several areas for improvement. One is the integration capability. Connecting various DSAR systems can be time-consuming if a single integration takes months to complete."
"The product is not that easy to set up."
"There are limitations to customized workflow automation, and they need to increase both the available automation and the customized workflow."
"We encounter difficulties creating multiple platforms or interfaces and manual processes for changing certain settings."
"OneTrust GRC's workflows aren't automated and need to be manually driven."
"They could enhance the product's functionalities like audit management and ensure consistency across modules."
"I haven't seen any return on investment using the solution. If I had the opportunity, I would use a different solution."
"The implementation of OneTrust could have been smoother, particularly in terms of scoping for those outside of governance, risk, and compliance."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is variable, like with any technology, and is determined by how hard you wish to negotiate. You can get to a price you're willing to pay if you're willing to negotiate aggressively."
"I highly recommend this tool as the price is reasonable. However, consistent pricing is important, and having a loyalty program that rewards long-term customers with lower prices would be a great addition."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is too expensive, I rate the solution a seven since it falls under the pricey side."
"The solution is expensive."
"The platform is expensive."
"OneTrust GRC is an expensive solution."
"OneTrust GRC's licensing costs about $15,000 per module."
"I found the pricing and setup cost very reasonable."
