Wondering how you're going to wow your colleagues in 2025? 

Here’s a tip: Level up your privacy reporting to quantify your contribution to the business. You’ll identify ways to make your privacy program more efficient, reduce risks, and build confidence in your organization’s compliance. 

Osano’s new reporting capabilities will help you accomplish exactly that. 

We’re pleased to introduce enhancements to our previously announced Subject Rights and UC reporting and new reporting modules for our CMP and Assessments products that will shine a light on your privacy efforts, demonstrating that you and your organization are trustworthy and compliant through hard data. 

Why Advanced Reporting Is Essential for Privacy Programs 

Like many essential functions, privacy is often invisible to stakeholders until something goes wrong. Consumers don’t always know how much work goes into protecting them. Leaders don’t always understand what value the organization gets for investing into privacy. Even the professionals running the privacy program lack visibility into the full scope of their efforts. 

Robust reporting capabilities solve these challenges and more. Elements of privacy reporting can be made public to earn consumer trust. Dashboards and data visualization help leaders see exactly what privacy is doing. And having numbers to crunch gives privacy professionals a way to identify and prioritize improvements to their privacy program. That’s the key to a more efficient workday and stronger compliance. 

So much of data privacy is about transparency. Reporting gives you the tools to make your privacy operations transparent to the rest of the business, consumers, and other stakeholders. Without visibility, trust is impossible. 

Introducing Osano’s Enhanced Reporting Modules 

Subject Rights Reporting 

undefined-Jan-30-2025-03-47-39-4835-PM

One of the new reporting features in the Subject Rights Management module. Spotlight metrics are core, all-time metrics for tracking the overall health of your subject rights program and serve to spotlight urgent subject rights compliance issues.  

Osano’s enhanced subject rights reporting capabilities give you yet another way to reduce the risk of overdue, inefficient subject rights requests. Using multiple dashboards and data visualization tools, Osano users gain an at-a-glance overview of: 

  • Active requests, at-risk, and overdue requests 
  • Requests by jurisdiction 
  • Verified, auto-rejected, and unverified requests 
  • Time to complete requests 
  • Action items by assignee 
  • And more 

With these reporting capabilities, you can prioritize your tasks, identify high-risk requests, and spotlight urgent compliance issues. Are requests from certain jurisdictions consistently taking longer to fulfill? Do certain assignees need additional training and enablement when fulfilling requests? How much time have you saved with automated versus manual rights fulfillment? Osano lets you answer these questions and more.

Unified Consent Reporting

One of the new Unified Consent & Preference Hub views reports on different consent types by jurisdiction. 

With all of the different consent types falling under universal consent management, it can be difficult to get a sense of who’s consenting to what and where without pulling data from a dozen different places. Now, with Osano’s reporting update to Unified Consent & Preference Hub, you can view all of your universal consent data in one centralized place. 

Unified Consent & Preference Hub now provides spotlight metrics that point out the overall health of your universal consent implementation and highlight urgent issues to resolve. Other dashboards include: 

  • GPC versus explicit consents 
  • Consent changes 
  • Privacy opt-ins versus opt-outs 
  • Changes in aggregate consent preferences over time 

With these reports, you can gain deeper insight into your users’ consent trends across regions and platforms, highlighting patterns in your compliance posture and users’ preferences.

Assessments Reporting

Spotlight metrics for Osano's assessments module gives you a high-level overview of the status of your active and upcoming assessments.

Detailed assessments are central to an effective privacy program—but mining them for insights can be difficult, and too often they’re filed away and forgotten. Osano’s assessment reporting features give you high-level insights into your assessments, enabling you to act on your findings faster. 

New reporting dashboards include: 

  • Spotlight metrics to highlight data like overdue, upcoming, and open assessments 
  • Severity of risk across your recent assessments 
  • Privacy scores of assessed vendors 
  • Assessment statuses by assignee 

With these and other insights enabled by the new reporting features, you’ll raise the profile of privacy’s risk-finding activities and shorten your insight-to-action timeline.

CMP Reporting 

undefined-Jan-30-2025-03-50-00-9101-PM

Osano's CMP Reporting gives you insight into cookie consent metrics by jurisdiction.

Cookie consent management is a cornerstone for any privacy program. Now, you can see exactly how different users in different jurisdictions consent to data collection on your website. 

Osano’s new reporting features provide you with insight into consents by region, consent changes over time, opt-out rates, and more. You can identify which jurisdictions you collect the most or least website data and peg consent data as a proxy for consumer trust.

What This Means for You 

Collectively, these features mean a lighter workload, better decision-making, and more visibility into the value of your privacy efforts. 

Reporting enables you to uncover high priority tasks, such as overdue subject rights requests or unclassified scripts (or more) in your configurations. New filtering capabilities enable you to view privacy metrics in new jurisdictions, across specific dates, by consent categories, and more. As a result, you can explore potential sources of risk without exhaustive manual searching. 

With aggregate data at your fingertips, you’ll be able to identify patterns and gaps in your privacy posture. You might see more rights requests or opt-outs from certain regions, for example; Osano now empowers you to investigate what’s behind trends like these. 

Perhaps most importantly, reporting enables you to present your results to other stakeholders in a clear, digestible fashion that even non-experts can understand. Data visualizations allow you to bridge gaps with GRC, IT, and executive teams by presenting the tangible value of your privacy efforts and quantifying potential risk. You can even share elements of your reports with customers or prospects. 

By delivering actionable insights, Osano enables organizations to move from reactive compliance to proactive, visible privacy. With tools that help bridge the gap between privacy and other departments, you’ll find it easier to get buy-in from stakeholders and ensure privacy is prioritized at every level of the business.
