OneTrust, the largest and most widely used privacy, security, and data governance technology platform, announced a $300 million Series C funding round. The funding values OneTrust, founded in 2016, at $5.1 billion and brings the company’s total money raised in the last 18 months to $710 million.

OneTrust’s technology sits as the epicenter of trust for organizations, enabling strong privacy, security, data governance, and ethics and compliance practices that underpin their digital transformation. As organizations strive for increasing levels of efficiency and agility in their transformation journey, they are looking for a platform approach to managing privacy, security, and governance requirements across an increasingly complex regulatory environment.
