Privacy compliance doesn’t fail in theory; it fails in practice.
Websites change constantly. New tags get added. UX tweaks roll out. Banners update. Regulations evolve. And enforcement is accelerating in the US and around the world. Even teams with strong privacy programs can struggle to keep up with what their sites are actually doing in real-world conditions.
That’s why we built Osano Compliance Check: automated, recurring website scans that verify real-world privacy compliance.
Privacy laws, regulations, and enforcement actions are too numerous and too dynamic to track manually. At the same time, website behavior can vary based on geography, browser signals, frameworks, and consent state.
Organizations need more than configuration tools. They need a trusted way to:
Manual audits can’t scale to meet that need. Point-in-time checks don’t catch compliance drift. And assumptions about how a site behaves rarely survive real-world scrutiny.
Osano Compliance Check delivers automated, recurring scans of your digital properties to evaluate privacy compliance in real-world conditions on a schedule you control.
Instead of guessing at your websites’ compliance, you get visibility into their actual state. Instead of scrambling during audits, you have evidence on hand and at the ready. And most all, instead of uncertainty and anxiety, you’ll be confident in your compliance.

Osano Compliance Check scans your sites on a regular cadence (for example, weekly) and saves every result. That means you can:
Results are easy to view, share, and export, making it simple to keep legal, privacy, security, and GRC teams aligned.
Osano Compliance Check focuses on the areas regulators care about most—what users actually experience. Here are some of the capabilities and information you can expect from Compliance Check.
Compliance Check automatically scans your homepage and privacy policy URLs on a consistent schedule, simulating real access from regulated locations (such as California).
This allows teams to catch issues early—before they turn into audit findings, enforcement actions, or customer complaints.
Consent is only valid if it’s informed and freely given. That means consent banner design and functionality needs to meet certain standards.
Compliance Check verifies what users really see, including:
If your CMP becomes non-functional or non-compliant, banner design becomes manipulative or unclear, or if any part of your consent experience breaks or disappears, you’ll know–and you’ll know why it did, when it happened, and how to fix it.
Modern privacy compliance depends on identifying, accepting, and honoring technical signals. Privacy enforcement actions increasingly name failure to accept these signals as a key violation. And because they happen behind the scenes, businesses often believe they’re already honoring these signals compliantly when that isn’t the case.
Compliance Check audits key signals and frameworks, including:
This helps ensure your implementation matches regulatory expectations—not just your intent.
A compliant website needs more than a consent banner.
Compliance Check verifies that required policy elements are present and current by:
It’s an automated check on foundational compliance hygiene, and if you manage multiple domains, it's an essential way to assess compliance at scale.
When regulators—or internal auditors—ask for evidence, Compliance Check delivers.
Every scan saves both criteria and results, creating a defensible compliance record. You can compare scans over time to pinpoint exactly what changed, when it changed, and where the issue occurred.
Osano Compliance Check doesn’t replace consent management—it completes it.
Cookie Consent helps you configure and deploy compliant consent experiences.
Compliance Check verifies they stay compliant over time.
Privacy compliance isn’t just about doing the right thing—it’s about being able to prove you've done it.
Osano Compliance Check gives teams ongoing visibility into how their websites behave in the real world, backed by automated scans, historical records, and actionable insights.
Osano Cookie Consent powers compliant consent. Osano Compliance Check proves it and keeps it that way.
