OneTrust adds ethics to its privacy platform with Convercent acquisition

Ron Miller
·2-min read

OneTrust, a late stage privacy platform startup, announced it was adding ethics and compliance to the mix this morning by acquiring Convercent, a company that was built to help build more ethical organizations. The companies did not share the purchase price.

OneTrust just raised $300 million on a fat $5.1 billion valuation at the end of last year, and it's putting that money to work with this acquisition. Alan Dabbiere, co-chairman at OneTrust sees this acquisition as a way to add a missing component to his company's growing platform of services.

"Integrating Convercent instantly brings a proven ethics and compliance technology, team, and customer base into the OneTrust, further aligning the Chief Ethics & Compliance Officer strategy alongside privacy, data governance, third-party risk, GRC (governance, risk and compliance), and ESG (environmental, social and governance) to build trust as a competitive advantage," he said.

Convercent brings 750 customers and 150 employees to the OneTrust team along with its ethics system, which includes a way for employees to report ethical violations to the company and a tool for managing disclosures.

Convercent wants to make it easier for companies to measure ethical behavior

Convercent can also use data to help surface bad behavior before it's been reported. As CEO Patrick Quinlan explained in a 2018 TechCrunch article:

“Sometimes you have this interactive code of conduct, where there’s a new vice president in a region and suddenly page views on the sexual harassment section of the Code of Conduct have increased 200% in the 90 days after he started. That’s easy, right? There’s a reason that’s happening, and our system will actually tell you what’s happening.”

Quinlan wrote in a company blog post announcing the deal that joining forces with OneTrust will give it the resources to expand its vision.

"As a part of OneTrust, we’ll be combining forces with the leader across privacy, security, data governance, third-party risk, GRC, ESG—and now—ethics and compliance. Our customers will now be able to build centralized programs across these workstreams to make trust a competitive differentiator," Quinlan wrote.

Convercent was founded in 2012 and has raised over $100 million, according to Pitchbook data. OneTrust was founded in 2016. It has over 8000 customers and 150 employees and has raised $710 million, according to the company.

OneTrust nabs $300M Series C on $5.1B valuation to expand privacy platform

  • Giochi: Acadi, 'Lazio rischia di mettere il gioco legale in un lockdown perenne'

    Il blocco delle attività nel settore del gioco pubblico ha superato i 10 mesi complessivi, mettendo in ginocchio nel Paese 150mila lavoratori e 75mila imprese più l’indotto. Nel Lazio il quadro rischia di venire drammaticamente aggravato dalla Legge Regionale 5/2013 che, si legge in una nota, nonostante intenda contrastare il disturbo da gioco d’azzardo, non appare risolutiva sotto il profilo clinico e sanitario perché in concreto determinerebbe un divieto sulla sostanziale totalità del territorio anche per le realtà esistenti e andrebbe ad affondare definitivamente un comparto già stremato dal lockdown. La norma entrerebbe in vigore il 28 agosto e innescherebbe una dinamica simile a quanto sta avvenendo in Piemonte con la legge regionale 9/2016, che già sta determinando pesanti effetti a livello occupazionale. Saranno questi i temi al centro del webinar “Analisi dell’impatto sociale del settore del Gioco Pubblico nella Regione Lazio e delle conseguenze dell’entrata in vigore della L.R 5/2013”, organizzato dall’Associazione concessionari di giochi pubblici (Acadi) e che si svolgerà lunedì 26 aprile, alle 15:30. L’introduzione dei lavori sarà affidata a Geronimo Cardia, Presidente di Acadi, e le conclusioni saranno svolte dal Sottosegretario del Ministero dell’economia e delle finanza, On. Claudio Durigon. Interverranno al webinar, il direttore dell’Agenzia delle Dogane e dei Monopoli, Marcello Minenna, il Direttore dell’Istituto Tolomeo Studi e Ricerche Paolo Feltrin che presenterà e illustrerà lo studio “Analisi dell’impatto sociale del settore del Gioco Pubblico nella Regione Lazio e delle conseguenze dell’entrata in vigore della L.R. 5/2013”. L’analisi del fenomeno verrà realizzata anche dal vicedirettore dell’Istituto di Ricerca Eurispes Alberto Baldazzi. Il dibattito si articolerà poi con diversi interventi: il medico e psichiatra Sarah Viola, il componente Osservatorio della Regione Lazio su gioco d'azzardo patologico Domenico Faggiani, il già sottosegretario con delega ai Giochi Pier Paolo Baretta, il Presidente della Commissione della Regione Lazio allo Sviluppo Economico Marietta Tidei, il consigliere regionale del Lazio Sergio Pirozzi, la già consigliera della Regione Campania Antonella Ciaramella, il consigliere della Regione Puglia Francesco Paolo Campo. Concluderà i lavori il Sottosegretario al Ministero dell’economia e delle finanze Claudio Durigon.
