Switching from OneTrust to Aegis Firma

OneTrust is an enterprise privacy management platform — comprehensive, powerful, and priced for enterprise teams. For SMBs primarily needing EU AI Act compliance, US state AI laws, and AI-specific documentation, Aegis Firma provides the same regulatory coverage in a self-service product at $79/month. Here is how to migrate.

Migration time: 2–3 hours depending on ROPA complexity169 jurisdictions covered after switching

Why Teams Leave OneTrust

$20,000+ annual contracts with multi-year commitments
Requires an implementation partner — 3–6 month setup timeline
OneTrust is privacy-focused; EU AI Act and US state AI laws are add-ons
Not designed for self-service operation by small teams
Overkill for businesses that need AI compliance, not enterprise privacy operations

$79/month — 40x cheaper for AI regulatory compliance
169 jurisdictions including full EU AI Act 2026 coverage

Step-by-Step Migration Guide

1

Export your ROPA from OneTrust

Go to OneTrust > Privacy Program > Record of Processing Activities. Export as CSV or PDF. This is your Article 30 GDPR record — it imports into Aegis Firma's Data Map.

2

Export your Data Map

Export your Data Map showing data flows, storage locations, and cross-border transfers. Aegis Firma has a Data Map module that accepts this structure.

3

Download your vendor assessments

Export vendor risk assessments and DPAs from OneTrust. You'll use these when setting up your Vendors section in Aegis Firma.

4

Create your Aegis Firma account

Sign up at aegisfirma.com. Complete the 5-step onboarding — under 10 minutes. Your ROPA data and jurisdiction selections pre-populate most settings.

5

Re-create your Data Map

Go to Data Map in Aegis Firma. Add your data categories, storage locations, access controls, and retention schedules from your OneTrust export.

6

Upload your DPAs and vendor records

Add each vendor under the Vendors section. Attach existing DPAs as evidence files. Aegis Firma monitors contract review dates automatically.

7

Generate your AI-specific documents

Use Documents to generate the EU AI Act-specific documents that OneTrust does not cover: AI Acceptable Use Policy, AI Risk Assessment, EU AI Act Article 50 Transparency Notices.

8

Activate regulatory monitoring

Aegis Firma monitors 6 live regulatory feeds (EU, US, UK, Canada, Australia, Singapore) and sends deadline alerts. Set your jurisdictions under Settings > Alerts.

Frequently Asked Questions

OneTrust covers more than just AI compliance. Can Aegis Firma fully replace it?

Aegis Firma covers AI regulatory compliance comprehensively. OneTrust covers broader privacy operations: DSR management, cookie consent, vendor risk monitoring. If cookie consent and DSR workflows are critical, evaluate those needs separately. For AI compliance specifically — EU AI Act, US state AI laws, AI policies — Aegis Firma covers the same ground at a fraction of the cost.

Can I export my OneTrust consent records?

OneTrust consent records (cookie consent logs) are specific to OneTrust's consent management module. Aegis Firma does not manage cookie consent banners — it focuses on AI regulatory compliance. If you need cookie consent, keep OneTrust's consent module or use a dedicated tool (CookieYes, Termly) alongside Aegis Firma.
