OneTrust Launches Data Use Governance for AI-Ready Data

OneTrust introduced its Data Use Governance solution to close the enforcement gap between static policies and the real-time demands of AI initiatives. Traditional governance tools, built for slow-moving environments, struggle to keep pace with AI’s velocity, leading to compliance risks and bottlenecks. OneTrust’s approach translates documented policies—covering privacy, consent, and regulatory requirements—into machine-readable control code that enforces policies at the level of data queries. Key capabilities include AI-driven data classification (structured and unstructured), programmatic policy logic embedded in pipelines, real-time policy enforcement, and transparent auditing of controls like column masking and row filtering. By shifting from manual attestation to automated enforcement, organizations can accelerate data enablement, reduce approval cycle times, and support responsible AI innovation without sacrificing compliance. OneTrust claims this solution turns governance from a barrier into an enabler of AI-driven analytics onetrust.com.
