Deloitte and OneTrust Announce Alliance for Privacy Compliance

Managing privacy and regulatory compliance has become one of the most pressing challenges for businesses today. To address this, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu India LLP (Deloitte India) has announced a strategic alliance with OneTrust, one of the global leaders in privacy technology. The collaboration combines Deloitte’s deep domain expertise and advisory capabilities on data privacy with OneTrust’s AI-ready governance platform and automated privacy solutions, helping businesses simplify privacy compliance and drive responsible growth.

With the implementation of India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA) 2023, along with global mandates such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), Brazil’s General Personal Data Protection Law (LGPD) and Singapore’s Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA), businesses today face a multi-layered compliance landscape. This challenge is especially evident across regulated sectors such as banking, insurance, healthcare and consumer industries, where privacy obligations intersect with industry-specific norms. To meet these needs, many organisations still rely on manual processes and scattered tools, which increases effort and reduces response speed.

In response to these challenges, Deloitte and OneTrust have come together to provide businesses with an integrated framework for managing today’s complex privacy requirements. Combining Deloitte’s deep expertise in data privacy and protection, spanning advisory, implementation, and sustained orchestration with OneTrust’s unified governance platform, the alliance simplifies workflows, strengthens consent management and embeds privacy into business operations.

“As businesses increasingly prioritise privacy as a competitive differentiator, our collaboration with OneTrust marks a significant milestone in enabling scalable, intelligent and future-ready privacy operations for our clients. Our shared vision is to embed trust, transparency and responsible data use into the heart of digital transformation,” said Tarun Kaura, Partner, Deloitte India.

The collaboration will assist businesses in transforming compliance from a manual, resource-intensive task into a scalable, automated business function. It will also enable businesses to strengthen governance and accelerate innovation through consent, preference management, and end-to-end implementation support. By combining global best practices with local execution, the alliance allows Indian enterprises to embed privacy into their daily operations.

“As businesses prepare to keep pace with evolving data protection regulations, the need for clear governance structures and consistent privacy controls has never been more urgent. We help clients build these capabilities into the fabric of their operations. This alliance allows us to bring that approach to scale, combining Deloitte’s on-ground experience with OneTrust’s integrated and scalable platform to enable organisations to sustain compliance over time. This alliance allows organisations to streamline policies, improve data oversight and respond faster to regulatory changes,” said Mayuran Palanisamy, Partner, Deloitte India.

As organisations adopt new technologies and engage with multiple vendors, structured data management oversight becomes critical. The alliance will also help businesses build a clear view of data governance, thus strengthening trust in enterprise data, streamlining decision-making and turning governance into a source of strategic advantage.

“Organisations across India are navigating a complex privacy landscape that requires a proactive and scalable approach. Deloitte India’s expertise in enterprise transformation and regulatory compliance, combined with the OneTrust platform’s extensive automated privacy and data governance capabilities, helps organisations meet DPDPA obligations with confidence. Through this alliance, organisations can accelerate innovation while ensuring trust and responsible data use,” said Ana Vertedor, Head of Partner Sales, International, OneTrust.

“Governance should be a catalyst for growth and responsible innovation. Our alliance with Deloitte India helps organisations automate and scale privacy, embedding DPDPA compliance into their business to drive trust and long-term value.” Said Arvind Chandrashekar, Regional GTM Leader, OneTrust.
