Why Switch from OneTrust to CPDForge
Generate custom compliance training with AI
OneTrust provides comprehensive privacy and data governance software with pre-built training modules. CPDForge generates complete compliance courses with lessons, quizzes, and assessments from a single prompt — reflecting your specific policies and operational context.
Training-focused vs privacy management platform
OneTrust specialises in privacy management with data mapping, consent management, and DSARs. CPDForge focuses specifically on creating and managing compliance training content — ideal when you need flexible training delivery without broader privacy management infrastructure.
Self-service access with transparent pricing
OneTrust requires enterprise engagement and custom pricing. CPDForge offers self-service signup with transparent pricing starting at £29/month — no vendor negotiations or multi-month implementation projects.
Monitor regulatory changes automatically
CPDForge tracks compliance regulatory updates and identifies which of your courses are affected. OneTrust provides privacy intelligence but does not link regulatory changes directly to your training content.

What is OneTrust?

How is CPDForge different from OneTrust?

CPDForge focuses specifically on compliance training creation and delivery — generating custom courses using AI, monitoring regulatory changes, and managing training across organisations. OneTrust is appropriate for enterprises needing full privacy management infrastructure; CPDForge is designed for flexible, accessible training creation.
Does CPDForge offer privacy management like OneTrust?
No. CPDForge is focused on training creation, not privacy management, data mapping, or DSAR workflows. If you need comprehensive privacy management capabilities, OneTrust is more appropriate. CPDForge is designed for organisations that need to create and manage compliance training content.
Are courses created with CPDForge suitable for enterprise compliance?
