AssentRepo vs OneTrust
OneTrust is a full enterprise privacy suite — CMP, DSAR automation, assessments, vendor risk. Typical cost: typically five to six figures annually, quoted through sales.
OneTrust is not really a competitor to AssentRepo; it is a different category of purchase. It is bought by privacy teams with headcount, budget and a legal function, and it does far more than manage consent.
The comparison matters anyway, because Indian SMBs get quoted OneTrust by consultants and conclude that compliance is unaffordable. It is not — you are simply being sold a suite when you need a script tag.

When OneTrust is the better choice
- · You have a dedicated privacy or GRC team and need assessments, vendor risk and records of processing in one platform
- · You are a Significant Data Fiduciary with formal audit obligations across many jurisdictions
When AssentRepo is the better choice
- You are a team of 1–50 and need consent, DSAR and audit logs working this week
- Your budget for compliance tooling is measured in thousands of rupees per month, not lakhs per year
- You want DPDP as the primary framework rather than a regional variant
FAQ
Is AssentRepo enough for an enterprise buyer's security questionnaire?
For the consent and data-rights sections, yes — you can point to per-event audit logs, hashed IP storage, a published DPA and an exportable DSAR trail. Questions about vendor risk assessments and records of processing are organisational, not tooling, and you answer them the same way regardless of CMP.
Do you offer a DPA?
Yes, published and available without a sales call.
