Do you know that research shows over 75% of privacy professionals expect their privacy programs to expand in the next 12 months? As data privacy regulations proliferate across the globe, companies are quickly realizing they need robust data privacy management programs in place. This is driving massive growth for solutions like OneTrust to operationalize privacy, security, and third-party risk programs.
With OneTrust adoption growing rapidly, many companies are also debating whether to implement and manage OneTrust internally or outsource it to experts. While keeping things in-house may seem ideal initially, there are significant benefits to outsourcing your OneTrust implementation and management that are important to consider.
The Importance of Trust
When it comes to something as critical as data privacy compliance, trust is key. Outsourcing your OneTrust implementation and management to an established external partner with proven expertise builds trust in several important ways:
- An experienced partner has successfully handled hundreds of OneTrust implementations, fine-tuning and perfecting their methodology. You can trust them to get your implementation right.
- A partner’s business relies entirely on data privacy services. They have a vested interest in ensuring your success with OneTrust, maintaining trustworthiness to win future business. An internal team may have competing priorities.
- Over time, a reliable partner earns a reputation for integrity through successful projects. Their continued success depends on maintaining that hard-won trust with every client.
- Outsourcing transfers responsibility to an authoritative partner who fully owns the execution. Rather than spreading implementation and management across an internal team with divided focus, you can place trust in experts dedicated to OneTrust.
- A partner provides third-party validation and oversight. Their external advisement builds trust that your OneTrust implementation adheres to best practices and keeps pace with the evolving regulatory landscape.
Trust is the foundation of any successful OneTrust relationship. An experienced partner has devoted themselves fully to earning and maintaining client trust through successful delivery of OneTrust expertise. Outsourcing transfers the implementation to trusted professionals whose business thrives based on continued trustworthiness.

Some of the key benefits include:
- Specialized Skills: Outsourcers invest heavily in training and have teams dedicated solely to OneTrust. This deep expertise improves quality and enables them to avoid common pitfalls.

Save Time
Handing off your OneTrust implementation and management to an expert outsourcer saves your team an enormous amount of time. With the complexities and nuances involved in getting a privacy program up and running, not to mention keeping it optimized on an ongoing basis, the amount of time required from your internal team adds up quickly.
An experienced outsourcer that focuses solely on OneTrust and privacy management will have optimized processes and methodologies that allow them to execute implementations and ongoing optimization much faster than an internal team could. They’ve done it countless times before for organizations across all industries. An outsourcer has worked through all the common challenges and roadblocks, and knows how to navigate them efficiently.
This time savings from an outsourcer allows your internal privacy team to focus their time on higher value strategic initiatives, innovation and process improvement.

Your privacy program will progress much faster when your team can operate at a more strategic level.
Save Money
Outsourcing your OneTrust implementation and management to an expert team saves money compared to building an in-house privacy program. With outsourcing, you avoid large upfront investments in infrastructure, software, personnel, and training.
The outsourcing provider already has the technology, skills, and experience in place to deliver results quickly and efficiently. Their expertise comes from implementing privacy programs for companies across industries. You benefit from their past work rather than having to start from scratch internally.
Some of the cost areas where outsourcing saves money include:
- Technology infrastructure and software licensing fees
- Salaries, benefits, training for in-house privacy personnel
- Time spent on strategy, design, documentation, and process creation
- Ongoing privacy program management and optimization
Outsourcing shifts these costs to the provider. Their economies of scale and pre-existing foundations reduce the overall investment required. The outsourcing fee is usually far less than establishing the people, processes, and technology internally.
By outsourcing, you get an effective privacy program running faster. You start seeing return on investment sooner compared to slowly building in-house. The outsourcing provider’s experience also means your program follows proven best practices from the start. Their expertise helps optimize processes over time, further improving ROI.
