Quick answer

What are the best alternatives to OneTrust?

AuditBoard may suit internal audit and SOX teams at mid-to-large enterprises, while LogicGate Risk Cloud may suit GRC teams wanting configurable, no-code applications. None is best for everyone: the right compliance platform depends on team size, budget and which OneTrust limitation you are trying to solve.
