Why Responsum stands out as the better choice over TrustArc
TrustArc offers various privacy compliance tools, but it falls short in key areas where RESPONSUM excels—customization, ease of use, and training capabilities. Here’s why Responsum is the better alternative.
More flexibility, less restriction
TrustArc lacks customizable data models, custom assessments, and online forms, forcing organizations into a one-size-fits-all approach. Responsum provides flexible, customizable solutions, allowing you to adapt the platform to your unique privacy requirements.
Built-in awareness training & phishing simulations
Unlike TrustArc, Responsum integrates privacy awareness training and phishing simulations, making it easier to educate and empower your team. Compliance is more than just checking boxes—it’s about fostering a strong privacy culture, something Responsum prioritizes.
Seamless deployment & customization
TrustArc’s complexity can slow down adoption, requiring extensive configuration and onboarding. Responsum is designed for easy deployment and smooth customization, ensuring that teams can get up and running quickly without frustration.
A more connected privacy program
Responsum links key compliance processes like RoPA, assessments, and risk management, fostering better collaboration and transparency across teams—something that TrustArc struggles to achieve effectively.
A smarter, cost-efficient choice
TrustArc’s solutions can be costly and rigid, often bundling features that might not be necessary for every organization. Responsum offers a more tailored, cost-effective approach, ensuring that you get exactly what you need without unnecessary extras.
