History

OneTrust was founded in 2016 by Kabir Barday in Atlanta, Georgia, initially focusing on software to help organizations comply with emerging global privacy laws such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).[7]


In June 2022, OneTrust laid off approximately 950 employees, or 25% of its workforce, citing changing investor priorities and market conditions.[8]

AI capabilities and governance

In 2025, OneTrust launched the Privacy Breach Response Agent, built with Microsoft Security Copilot, designed to automate incident evaluation and breach notification mapping.[9] The company also integrated with Azure OpenAI to support compliance transparency and model governance functions.[10] In 2024, AI-based features were added to the DataGuidance regulatory research platform, enabling regulatory text search and summarization.[11]
