About

TrustArc is a comprehensive data privacy management solution designed for organizations navigating complex global privacy regulations. The platform combines AI-driven automation with deep regulatory expertise to streamline privacy programs at scale. Its Privacy Studio suite handles cookie consent management, consumer preference orchestration, and automated data subject request (DSR) workflows — enabling companies to build customer trust while maintaining compliance. The Governance Suite includes tools for data mapping and vendor risk management, privacy impact assessments (PIAs), AI risk assessments, and regulatory research via Nymity Research. TrustArc also offers Assurance Services including TRUSTe certifications for Responsible AI, CBPR, APEC, GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, and more — providing third-party credibility for privacy programs. Its no-code Trust Center lets organizations centralize policies and disclosures to accelerate sales cycles. Built for privacy, legal, compliance, and IT teams at mid-market to enterprise companies, TrustArc supports regulations including GDPR, CCPA, CDPA, NIST AI Framework, ISO 27001, the EU AI Act, and India's DPDPA. A commissioned Forrester Total Economic Impact study found measurable ROI through reduced manual effort, lower breach costs, and operational efficiency gains.
