About
Osano is a comprehensive data privacy compliance platform built for businesses of all sizes—from startups to enterprises—looking to simplify and scale their privacy programs. Designed by privacy experts, Osano handles the full spectrum of compliance requirements across global regulations including GDPR, CCPA, and CPRA. The platform's core capabilities include a powerful Cookie Consent Manager that processes over 1 billion consents per month across 50+ countries, a Subject Rights Management module that streamlines and automates DSAR (Data Subject Access Request) workflows, and a Data Mapping feature that automatically discovers and classifies data stores. Teams can also manage vendor privacy risk to ensure third-party data handling is compliant and trustworthy. Osano's Unified Consent & Preference Hub goes beyond cookie consent, enabling organizations to leverage non-cookie data and build deeper customer trust. Assessment tools allow compliance teams to efficiently run privacy impact assessments using customizable or pre-built templates, while real-time regulatory guidance and a Privacy Enforcement Tracker keep businesses ahead of changing laws. With a unique $500,000 'No Fines, No Penalties' guarantee, Osano stands out as a risk-reducing partner rather than just a software vendor. It is suitable for legal, compliance, GRC, and security teams as well as non-privacy experts across industries including tech, healthcare, finance, and retail.
