USEFUL INSIGHTS

Simple, Clear, and Actionable

When a new law comes to light, you could dive into the full text and spend days or weeks parsing through legalese. Or, you could use Osano’s Regulatory Guidance, which explains the laws in simple layman’s terms. We provide clear guidance on the basics of the law, what it means for your business, and how you can best achieve compliance.

COMPLIANCE

Don’t Be Taken by Surprise

Ignorance of the law is never treated as an excuse for disobeying the law. Data protection authorities, attorneys general, and other enforcement entities can and will penalize you for noncompliance, even if you were unaware of your noncompliance in the first place. Osano alerts you to new laws, rules, and interpretations so you won’t have to worry about being caught unawares.

"I love how easy to it is to use and maintain the Osano tooling. You don't need to be a developer to manage the product which is great as a compliance professional. They are also the only vendor out there I've found that actually guarantees compliance with global laws rather than other vendors who love to leave any and all legal obligation in your hands."

Jeffrey (J.J.) M

Lead Global Privacy Analyst

"We were looking for a consent management solution that was quick to implement and did not require expertise in various user privacy laws and regulations. We were also looking for a solution that did not require heavy development to integrate with our website. We were up and running with Osano and in compliance with local privacy regulations within 4 days."

"Ability to implement very quickly to sites with the CMP, clone configurations, make changes and finalize deployment through publishing. Also like the continuous monitoring of discovered cookies and scripts. Also like that you can configure a site with Silent mode while it performs discovery. Customer service is excellent as they provided rapid guidance on what was possible and impossible..."

If You Are Responsible for Protecting Privacy

The Struggle Is Real

You know it. We know it. The world of privacy is complex and getting more so every day. For teams that manage privacy, it’s hard enough to cover the basics, let alone focus on strategic work.

trend-up-01

More Laws, More Requirements, Steeper Costs

In 2026, organizations will need to comply with 21 distinct U.S. privacy laws. In 2024, total noncompliance fines reached $1 billion. If you fail to keep up, the stakes are higher than ever.

You Can’t Manage What You Can’t See

130 million U.S. consumers now have the right to file a DSAR Data Subject Access Request, sometimes also referred to as a privacy rights request.. As complexity and volume grow, it’s harder to track preferences, workflows, and personal/sensitive data across the business. Spreadsheets and manual processes no longer cut it.

Trust Can Disappear in an Instant

72 percent of consumers say they will stop buying from a company where there’s been a data breach. Privacy teams struggle to proactively spot and mitigate risks to personal and sensitive data, and to align with Security, GRC, and TPRM for a unified risk strategy.
