Osano

A leading independent data privacy management platform competing with OneTrust and TrustArc, known for ease of use and vendor risk monitoring

Osano is an Austin, Texas-based data privacy management company founded in 2018 by Arlo Gilbert. The platform provides businesses with a comprehensive suite of tools to manage privacy compliance across major regulations including GDPR, CCPA, CPRA, and other global privacy laws. Its core offerings include a consent management platform (CMP), data subject rights automation, vendor privacy monitoring, and privacy assessments — all designed to reduce legal risk and build consumer trust. Osano differentiates itself through its vendor monitoring database, which tracks the privacy practices of thousands of third-party vendors, giving companies visibility into their supply chain risk. The platform is designed to be accessible to legal, compliance, and marketing teams without requiring deep technical expertise, making it particularly appealing to mid-market and enterprise companies that need robust privacy tooling without heavy implementation overhead. In the AdTech ecosystem, Osano plays a critical role as a consent management and privacy compliance layer, helping publishers, advertisers, and brands ensure that data collection and processing activities meet regulatory requirements. As privacy regulations continue to expand globally and enforcement intensifies, Osano has positioned itself as a trusted, independent privacy platform. The company has raised venture funding and serves thousands of customers across industries including technology, healthcare, financial services, and retail.
