OneTrust Introduces New Integration to Boost AI Governance

Data management solutions provider OneTrust recently announced an integration with Azure OpenAI, which accelerates and automates AI governance with centralized oversight for responsible innovation.

New integration expands agentic AI management capabilities

“AI teams today are deploying models and launching dynamic agents that interact, learn, and evolve in real time,” said Blake Brannon, Chief Product & Strategy Officer at OneTrust. “With our enhanced Azure OpenAI integration, customers can seamlessly register, monitor, and manage AI agents alongside their models. This is a game-changer for ensuring that every component of an organization’s AI deployment adheres to global regulations and responsible AI principles– allowing teams to innovate faster with full confidence in their governance framework.”

This new update from OneTrust delivers new capabilities for managing and governing AI agents. It will allow companies to embrace agents to drive innovation and enable responsible AI practices at every step of the AI lifecycle.

The integration with Azure OpenAI can now automate the capture of agent deployments, centralize project records, and eliminate manual data entry into new interfaces to save time, reduce friction, and streamline compliance with laws, including the EU AI Act.

Other key features include:

• Automated Agent & Model Registration: The integration allows users to instantly register both AI models and agents when they’re created in Azure OpenAI and capture vital project details at the point of deployment.
• AI Lifecycle Management: Users can manage the full AI lifecycle by associating machine learning models, agents, and training data with AI projects. This triggers AI impact assessments for responsible AI.
• Dynamic Transparency Reporting: Allows for generating real-time system, agent, and models reports in seconds to consolidate purpose, performance, training data, and limitations into a single, transparent view for stakeholders.

Additionally, the integration with Azure OpenAI allows OneTrust to simplify compliance and prepare for responsible AI governance. OneTrust AI Governance helps ensure that AI operations remain agile, transparent, and fully compliant through finetuning generative AI models or deploying cutting-edge agents with Azure AI services like AI Foundry and AI Agent Service.

OneTrust AI-powered compliance automation platform

Not long ago, OneTrust launched its Compliance Automation platform. This platform streamlines regulatory requirements by providing AI-driven tools for optimizing compliance processes and reducing manual tasks.

The capability combines out-of-the-box content, automated project management, and measurable reporting to assist businesses in scaling taxed resources, optimizing processes, and driving efficiencies throughout the entire compliance lifecycle.

“Today’s leading companies are focusing on the responsible use of data and AI,” said Brannon, when this news came out. “With the launch of Compliance Automation, we have revolutionized how compliance is managed. Our proprietary shared evidence framework consolidates all compliance requirements and standards into a single, unified system, using data posture and integrations to automate many of the traditional manual compliance tasks.”

This newly expanded integration with Azure OpenAI and the OneTrust Compliance Automation demonstrates OneTrust’s understanding of the market’s desire to utilize AI while ensuring transparency and compliance.

OneTrust aims to assist customers with their approach to compliance and automates workflows for organizations seeking to comply with one or several regulatory frameworks. Read more about how the company is helping organizations meet evolving global regulations.
