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…

Easy-to-deploy product with good technical support services
Our organization relies on numerous SaaS services for critical business functions, such as CRM and monitoring solutions. In a hypothetical scenario where a security breach occurs in the CRM database, potentially exposing our data and our clients, SecurityScorecard proves invaluable. It provides a security score, typically a percentage, based on extensive data collection from various sources, including the dark web and social networks. Let's say our CRM solution receives a security score of 78%, indicating a relatively safe status according to the information gathered by SecurityScorecard. One of its most effective features for risk identification is its enterprise-ready automation for third-party risk measurements. Additionally, it provides valuable insights into vulnerabilities within an organization, utilizing tools such as CVE details. For instance, it can assign a score based on vulnerabilities detected, such as 60%, and specify each vulnerability by its identifier. It offers scalability and can handle large volumes of real-time data. The continuous monitoring feature significantly enhances the ability to manage risks by providing real-time data collection on suppliers. We can observe fluctuations in their security levels over time, sometimes even every month. We can create alerts for high-risk situations, enabling organizations to respond promptly to potential security threats or vulnerabilities identified within their supplier network. The product's security ratings are helpful. While there may be occasional false positives, it does not function as a scanning solution. Instead, it presents the same information that hackers could potentially exploit. While I haven't worked with other cybersecurity rating solutions, I can attest to its strengths based on my experience. One notable advantage is their extensive data collection capabilities, surpassing many competitors in the market. They gather a wide range of information, resulting in a vast database that includes many suppliers or companies. It is easy to integrate with other tools. I rate it a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product helps us streamline audit and incident management processes."
"As a solution for IT risks, it is a very good product."
"We have data from Jira regarding addiction related to Europe as well as California. Additionally, we have data related to the Indian Data Protection Bill. Therefore, GDPR compliance is highly beneficial."
"The privacy impact assessment automation tool and the incident management tool are very user-friendly."
"We receive notifications or cases and prioritize them accordingly, which helps us address issues promptly."
"OneTrust GRC offers policy management, including documentation, distribution, attestation, and policy management."
"One of the valuable features of this solution is it has the ability to review fourth and fifth parties to the nth degree."
"Vendors can be assessed and rated out of the tool, and assessments can be scheduled for updates at certain intervals."
"The solution helps identify our environment's vulnerabilities."
"The biggest benefit is visibility, allowing organizations to understand their risks, vulnerabilities, and potential threats."
"With its automated approach, nothing is missed on the IPs your organization is related to."
"The initial setup takes just a couple of days and doesn't require any installation."
"Fortify Data offers attack surface capabilities that identify vulnerabilities, exposed ports, and dark web information."
"I rate the product's initial setup phase a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is a difficult setup phase, and ten is an easy setup process."
"With SecurityScorecard, the most valuable feature is the ability to identify if third parties or vendors have digital threats that may impact our company. It also scans all internal domains and IPs to find vulnerabilities in the digital landscape. The continuous monitoring capabilities have been beneficial by providing ongoing assessments of potential risks."
"One of its most effective features for risk identification is its enterprise-ready automation for third-party risk measurements."
 

Cons

"They could improve by offering free help. A solution, a lot of times, is not just the use of the solution. For example, it is the overall engagement, how well do they support the system, what is their SLA, and how long their response time is to an issue. It would be beneficial if they had some type of professional services where they offer the first five hours of professional services a year for free. That would be a substantial benefit rather than having to buy professional services or professional services packages."
"The implementation of OneTrust could have been smoother, particularly in terms of scoping for those outside of governance, risk, and compliance."
"The Vendor Risk dashboard is quite basic today and not interactive, but improvements are in coming the next releases."
"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."
"The product is not that easy to set up."
"They could enhance the product's functionalities like audit management and ensure consistency across modules."
"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."
"They could improve the process with a questionnaire module for the product."
"Some wanted a different solution."
"There could be more information in regards to solving problems like hints on what specifically to look for."
"There are areas for improvement in response times and overall support."
"The pricing of the product needs improvement in Brazil."
"The tool needs to have the ability to mitigate vulnerabilities with alternative solutions."
"The product can be improved by incorporating more data points and intelligence around dark web information and threat data."
"SecurityScorecard's technical team's response time is an area that my company expects to be made faster."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"OneTrust GRC is an expensive solution."
"I found the pricing and setup cost very reasonable."
"The platform is expensive."
"The solution is expensive."
"OneTrust GRC's licensing costs about $15,000 per module."
"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 pricing could be split into a lower-paid tier for smaller organizations and another higher tier for others with a more security-focused outlook. $1000 per month is more than some companies pay for their internet connections in total. UPDATE: they have a new 400$ a month tier for starters."
"Even though it's competitive, they offer flexible pricing structures."
"The pricing of SecurityScorecard is fair. I would rate it a seven. It's a bit more on the expensive side. In Brazil, for example, making a payment to the vendor involves wire transfers and high taxes, making it more expensive. Selling SecurityScorecard or any American vendor's product in the United States is very different from selling in South America or Brazil."
