1. Technology overview
Osano, Inc. is a public benefit corporation founded in October 2018 by Arlo Gilbert and Scott Hertel, with offices in Austin, Texas and Dublin, Ireland. It gives companies without large legal teams a simpler way to run a privacy program and comply with GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, LGPD and US state laws across more than 50 countries.
The platform combines cookie consent, a unified consent and preference hub, subject rights management for access and deletion requests, data mapping, assessments with ready templates, vendor privacy risk scores for over 11,000 vendors and Compliance Check, which scans websites on a schedule for consent banners, dark patterns, GPC handling and Google Consent Mode errors. AI features help classify cookies and answer privacy questions. Customers shown include AMC Theatres, FICO, New Relic, Linux Foundation and Six Flags.
2. Highlighted features & specifications
- Cookie consent: Consent banners with AI cookie classification and Google Consent Mode support.
- Consent and preference hub: Central record of consent and communication preferences.
- Subject rights management: Intake, verification and workflow for privacy requests.
- Data mapping: Discovers systems and builds an inventory of personal data.
- Assessments and vendor risk: Templates for DPIAs and privacy scores for 11,000+ vendors.
- Compliance Check: Scheduled scans for dark patterns, GPC and consent errors.
3. Potential application
A Vietnamese SaaS company selling to US customers can handle CCPA and GDPR requests from one portal. An online travel agency can monitor its booking site for consent and tracker errors every week. A software outsourcing firm can document data maps and vendor risk for client audits.
4. Benefits
Small privacy teams get consent, requests, data mapping and vendor risk in one product instead of stitching several tools. Recurring Compliance Check scans catch banner and tracker drift before regulators do and keep a history of results. A free 30-day trial and a free website scan lower the barrier to start. Osano offers a 500,000 USD 'No Fines, No Penalties' guarantee on its terms.
5. Market trends & opportunities
Privacy enforcement is shifting from written policies to testing how websites actually behave, including dark patterns and opt-out signals. Vietnamese firms serving EU or US customers, and local companies preparing for Vietnam's 2026 data protection law, need affordable tools that combine consent, request handling and monitoring.
