OneTrust is now a validated Databricks Technology Partner, integrating its governance platform natively.
The integration tackles the top barrier to scaling AI: lack of tool integration (cited by 35% of teams).
It connects directly with Databricks Unity Catalog to sync AI projects and enforce policies in real-time.
The partnership addresses rising AI regulations, with 134 new laws and standards in 2024 alone.
OneTrust unifies AI use case intelligence, data governance, and risk monitoring in one platform.
It enables real-time enforcement of user consent across the data lifecycle.
Bridging the Gap Between AI Innovation and Governance
The partnership directly addresses a critical industry challenge. Governance teams are spending 40% more time managing AI risk, while a lack of integration between governance tools and data platforms remains the primary obstacle to scaling. By embedding OneTrust's capabilities within the Databricks platform, this collaboration enables the continuous, embedded governance required for enterprises to innovate responsibly at pace. DV Lamba, Chief Technology Officer at OneTrust, said: "Our collaboration with Databricks brings governance and innovation together in a single ecosystem and gives our customers the ability to govern data and AI where it's built and deployed."
Operationalizing Responsible AI at Scale
The integration with Databricks Unity Catalog allows organizations to move from theoretical governance to operational enforcement. Data and AI teams can centralize visibility of all AI systems and models, map them to global standards like the EU AI Act, and enforce data policies natively within their workflow. This provides a unified inventory for risks and compliance controls, streamlining the entire AI lifecycle management.
Enabling Trusted Data Use for AI
A key capability of this integration is linking governance directly to data use. The OneTrust platform connects first-party consent data directly into Databricks, allowing organizations to enforce user consent preferences in real-time. This is critical for building trusted AI systems and is powered by OneTrust's scale, which processes over 3 billion consent transactions daily.
This partnership between OneTrust and Databricks represents a significant step forward in making robust AI governance an integral part of the development process. It empowers organizations to accelerate their AI strategies without compromising on accountability, ensuring that innovation and responsibility scale together.
OneTrust is the leading AI-ready governance platform. More than 14,000 customers globally, including over half of the Fortune 500, rely on OneTrust to accelerate innovation while ensuring responsible data use.
