What do you like best about TrustArc?

TrustArc is a All-In-One Privacy Management Platform, which could be used for all privacy-related requests in organizations, no matter whether the organizations are big or small. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TrustArc?

It is not easily customizable to specific needs. This could be an issue for organizations, which already have privacy officers, who want to customize it to work in specific ways. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is TrustArc solving and how is that benefiting you?

From my perspective of someone who is using TrustArc on a daily baisis and customizing TrustArc forms and templates, TrustArc is helping me perform my daily tasks by providing a great knowledge base which helps me do my work. This capability was further enhanced by the AI features embeded in the last weeks. It is also a great auditing tool, as it helps see historically finished Assessments.

TrustArc provides a well recognized privacy certification that is law agnostic and therefore well suited for companies that have a more global footprint and need global recognition which a GDPR Article 42 certification cannot provide.

The auditors we worked with (Galatée and Kemi) are extraordinate professionals who are very rigorous and professional.

TrustArc supports also in the communications with the Departmnet of Commerce. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about TrustArc?

TrustArc's strength for me has always been the supreme quality of their research tools. While it may be tempting to go with other organizations that have less expensive research solutions, you lose out on a wealth of resources and quality in the process. The templates and depth of legal analysis just can't be found at competitors (and I've tried them). On top of that, the customer support is hands on and top notch. They want you to succeed! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TrustArc?

The two big issues I have had over time have been the complexity of the tools to use and the cost. That said, TrustArc has been making great strides in improving in both of these areas over the last few years. We recently opted to launch a new product and the implementation has been so much easier than I recall implementation being for a similar tool a number of years ago that I ended up discontinuing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is TrustArc solving and how is that benefiting you?

TrustArc, through it's Privacy Central platform, is helping us to identify gaps in our privacy and AI governance programs where we can better document policies, procedures, and notifications to align with requirements around the world. It's helping us to build our AI Governance program, and helping us to greatly mature our privacy program. In both cases, our end-users are benefitting from more clarity in notices, our staff are and will be receiving better documented guidance, and the business will therefore more consistently apply requirements.

What do you like best about TrustArc?

Overall, I find TrustArc useful. I really enjoy how easy it is to track action items issued to us, so we can identify any privacy actions that must be taken and when they must be taken. This makes for a clear review with necessary stakeholders. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TrustArc?

I do find myself getting inundated often with emails from TrustArc, such as when I upload a comment. I do not know how much value a user may get when by receiving an email indicating they uploaded a comment in TrustArc. I also wonder whether the amount of emails sent can be reduced for each assessment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is TrustArc solving and how is that benefiting you?

Before TrustArc, I found it difficult to document how we resolved certain action items for assessments, and what questions we received. TrustArc centralizes all this information into one platform, which is quite useful. The biggest obstacle TrustArc has solved remains the documentaion of how action items were closed Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about TrustArc?

Some folks on the team we worked with were great; very responsive. (Unfortunately that wasn't the case across the board). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TrustArc?

"Dislike" is probably too strong, but two areas of improvement would be 1) more consistency for how quickly our team would answer questions (our primary account rep was great); sometimes we waited days and had to follow up before we got responses. Even if folks didn't have answers right away, it would be good to know they are working on it. 2) More helpful features in navigating US state laws would be great. I was hoping for an easy-to-digest page on each state law with language suggestions for our privacy notice but nothing really helpful on that front. The reference library did not include language suggestions to meet our basic compliance needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is TrustArc solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our DPF audit and certification was completed through TrustArc which was very helpful to our cross border transfer needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Annie Greenley-Giudici of TrustArc

Thank you for the review! I hate to hear that the response time is lacking consistency. If you can reach out to me directly (annie@trustarc.com), I'll make sure that's something our team makes an adjustment on quickly. In regards to navigating US state laws: our US Consumer Privacy Simplified page breaks down all the US consumer privacy laws in one centralized place. Towards the end of the page we provide a Toolkit which includes a matrix comparing the privacy notice disclosure requirements across all the laws. We also have a new Operational Template that we released at the end of September that includes sample US state privacy notice language. Hope that's helpful and if you need any additional guidance there, don't hesitate to reach out. We're here to help!

What do you like best about TrustArc?

I enjoy how easy it is to start a new assessment inside Trustarc, and how easy it is to provide the information required. Generally the userability of the application is quite simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TrustArc?

I think the comments section and sending messages inside trustarc could be easier. Even when an assessment is closed, the comments appear as if they were new. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is TrustArc solving and how is that benefiting you?

Trustarc provies a single location for any employee to enter a privacy inquiry and get feedback from the privacy team. We are a big company, so having one central source is extremely helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
