Deep in the heart of Texas, a world changing company was born.
In April 2018, Arlo Gilbert and Scott Hertel watched in disbelief as members of the U.S. Congress questioned technology leaders about online data privacy. It was Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg's Congressional hearing, and it was clear that even the best and brightest elected officials lacked essential knowledge about how data is stored and shared.
It was the duo's lightbulb moment. If the lawmakers are confused, surely businesses must be equally confused. Arlo and Scott had just exited their enterprise SaaS management company and were searching for a new category where they could build a meaningful company. They were well suited to solve the data privacy issue, so the pair went on a mission to bring simplicity to managing data privacy for consumers and businesses alike.
Today Osano is a diverse, growing team of attorneys, technologists, and business leaders who live and breathe data privacy.
We've created the world's first data set that objectively measures the data privacy practices for every company on the planet. We're building a suite of tools to help compliance, marketing, and sales teams use data privacy as a way to vet vendors and to stand out as vendors themselves. And we're doing it all as a Public Benefit Corporation, putting people before profits.
Stay tuned, because there are a lot of good things ahead.
We believe that data privacy is a fundamental human right and the companies that embrace privacy will become the next wave of trusted brands.
Now, with Osano’s new Assessments product, you can conduct, manage, and track privacy assessments, including DPIAs and RoPAs, from a central, secure location.
Capture data subject rights requests with the convenience of email and the efficiency of a dedicated intake form.
We've reworked and redesigned Osano Subject Rights Management and Data Discovery, unifying them into a single, seamless experience and creating automation to save you time.
