Against the backdrop of new regulatory challenges in 2026, this positions adesso as the central point of contact for future governance initiatives in the European market. With the OneTrust platform, customers of the IT service provider gain access to a centralised solution for the structured management of privacy and consent requirements, regulatory compliance, and risk and governance processes.
The expanded partnership agreement was signed in December. It is aimed in particular at companies that operate internationally and upper mid-sized companies, which are both subject to increasingly stringent regulatory requirements.
A Platform-Based Approach to Regulatory Resilience
The NIS 2 Directive, which came into force in December, along with increasing information security requirements and the growing regulation of artificial intelligence, is challenging companies to manage numerous security, risk, and compliance issues in an integrated manner. This is the only way they can maintain their international competitiveness while securing their business and digitalisation strategies. One thing is clear: isolated solutions will no longer suffice.
The complexity is considerable: among other things, NIS 2 requires systematic risk management, effective security measures, clear governance structures, and robust documentation and reporting obligations at management level. At the same time, AI governance is becoming increasingly important. Companies must make the use of AI systems transparent, risk-based, and compliant with regulations – from the classification and assessment of AI risks to defined controls and the consideration of data protection and security requirements. The comprehensive and integrated approach of the OneTrust platform helps to consolidate the requirements of the GDPR, NIS-2, DORA, the EU AI Act, and other regulations and to make them manageable from a central platform.
Focusing on Security, Risk, and Compliance
As an implementation partner of OneTrust, adesso supports companies with its methodological GRC and security expertise in the design, implementation, and operation of the OneTrust platform. This includes the technical design of regulatory requirements, process integration, and technical implementation within existing IT and security architectures. The focus of adesso’s experts is on the practical implementation of regulatory requirements in operational processes, the establishment of clear responsibilities, and the development of robust governance structures.
