The fundamental difference

OneTrust was built to solve global privacy compliance: GDPR consent management, cookie banners, data subject request workflows, and data mapping at enterprise scale. Its GRC capability was added in 2021 through the acquisition of Tugboat Logic, a Canadian-founded compliance automation startup. The result is a broad enterprise suite where GRC is one module among many, in a platform originally designed for a different core problem.

Sentrix is built for compliance automation. Canadian frameworks (Law 25, CPCSC, TGV, OSFI), US frameworks (SOC 2, HIPAA, CMMC, NIST) and European frameworks (GDPR, NIS2, DORA) ship with pre-built controls maintained by our compliance team; third-party risk, policies and licenses share the same evidence set. OneTrust remains the right choice for large enterprises whose primary compliance challenge is global privacy management at scale.

Who each platform is built for

Choose Sentrix if…

  • Your primary need is compliance automation (SOC 2, ISO 27001, Law 25, GDPR, NIS2) rather than consent management
  • You need CPCSC or TGV, or the OSFI guidelines, shipped as preconfigured frameworks
  • You want compliance, third-party risk, policies and licenses in one subscription
  • Your team works in French or serves French-speaking stakeholders

Choose OneTrust if…

  • You are a large enterprise with a primary focus on global privacy management (GDPR, CCPA)
  • Your organization already uses OneTrust for privacy and wants to extend to GRC in the same platform
  • You need enterprise-grade consent management, data mapping, and cookie compliance at global scale
  • Your budget and risk profile justify a full enterprise platform engagement

Frequently asked questions

What is TGV?
The Trousse globale de vérification (TGV) is the certification framework administered by the Bureau de certification et d'homologation (BCH) of Quebec's Ministère de la Santé et des Services sociaux. It attests the conformity of technological products and services used in the health and social services network across four domains: security, personal information protection, performance and technology. It does not cover every supplier to the Quebec government.
What is CPCSC?
CPCSC (Canadian Program for Cyber Security Certification) verifies the cybersecurity of suppliers in the Canadian defence industrial base that handle designated information. Level 1 is a self-assessment against 13 controls drawn from the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security publication ITSP.10.171; Levels 2 and 3 cover 98 and 200 controls with external verification.
Which European frameworks does Sentrix cover?
GDPR for personal data protection, NIS2 for the cybersecurity of essential and important entities, DORA for the digital operational resilience of the financial sector and TISAX for the automotive industry, in addition to the international standards ISO 27001 and ISO 42001. Each framework is mapped to the other active frameworks in the program, so evidence collected once counts toward several requirements.
