Building and Scaling Trust Programs – The Advantages of a Single Pane of Glass

Streamlining Trust Programs for Scalability and Efficiency

Building and scaling trust programs is essential for organizations to maintain customer trust and meet regulatory requirements. The OneTrust Winter ’24 release introduces a single-pane-of-glass approach that offers numerous advantages, making trust program management more efficient and scalable.

The Single Pane of Glass Approach

A single pane of glass refers to a centralised platform that provides a holistic view of an organisation’s trust program. It brings together various trust-related activities, such as privacy management, consent and preferences management, assessments, incident response, and vendor management. The Data Privacy Group works with organisations to set up and optimise trust programs through OneTrust, leveraging the advantages of a single-pane-of-glass solution.

Advantages of a Single Pane of Glass

Utilising a single-pane-of-glass approach for trust program management offers several advantages:

Efficiency and Time Savings: With all trust-related activities in one place, organisations can streamline their processes, reduce manual efforts, and save time. Instead of navigating multiple systems or tools, users can access and manage their trust program from a single centralised platform.

Consistency and Standardisation: A single-pane-of-glass solution promotes consistency and standardisation across trust-related activities. Organisations can establish uniform processes, policies, and workflows, ensuring compliance and minimising the risk of errors or inconsistencies.

Holistic View and Data Insights: The centralised platform provides a holistic view of the trust program, enabling organisations to gain valuable insights into their privacy and security posture. Data analytics and reporting features in OneTrust allow users to monitor program performance, identify trends, and make data-driven decisions for continuous improvement.

Scalability: A single-pane-of-glass solution facilitates scalability by providing a foundation for growth. As organisations expand their operations, add new products or services, or enter new markets, they can easily scale their trust program and extend its scope within the centralised platform.

Collaboration and Alignment: A single platform fosters collaboration and alignment among different teams and stakeholders involved in trust-related activities. Cross-functional teams can work together, share information, and ensure consistent and compliant practices across the organisation.

Partnering with The Data Privacy Group

The Data Privacy Group brings extensive expertise in building and scaling trust programs through the single-pane-of-glass approach. Our team works closely with organisations to design, implement, and optimise trust programs using OneTrust’s centralised platform. We provide guidance on process standardisation, data integration, and scalability to help organisations maximise the benefits of a single-pane-of-glass solution.
