How we're different

OneTrust Certification = enterprise GRC platform with security questionnaires, evidence collection, and certification orchestration. ComplianceIQ = SMB/mid-market AI policy generator + auditor.

Tugboat Logic / OneTrust pricing
Enterprise contract pricing — typically $25K–$75K+/year as part of broader OneTrust deal

Best fit for each

Pick Tugboat Logic / OneTrust when

Enterprises already on OneTrust for privacy / vendor risk / consent and looking to bundle certification.

Pick ComplianceIQ when

Companies under 500 employees who want policies + audits without a OneTrust contract.

Why people consider switching

OneTrust pricing is enterprise-only

If you don't already have a OneTrust footprint, the entry point for certification automation is steep. ComplianceIQ replaces 90% of the policy + audit use case at sub-$500/year.

Implementation is a project, not a purchase

Enterprise platforms require months of configuration. ComplianceIQ is usable in minutes.

You need fast policies for a deal

When procurement gives you 5 days for a security review, an enterprise platform implementation can't help. We can.

Privacy-first organization

OneTrust's privacy module is excellent — and expensive. ComplianceIQ covers GDPR/CCPA policy + audit at SMB pricing.

Privacy + security in one place at SMB price

Avoid stacking enterprise modules for an SMB use case.

FAQ

Can ComplianceIQ feed evidence into OneTrust?

Indirectly — export DOCX/PDF artifacts and upload as policy evidence in any GRC platform.

Are we missing security questionnaire automation?

Yes — that's a OneTrust strength. For SMBs, manual answers using policy artifacts produced here are usually adequate.

Do you handle EU AI Act + Digital Omnibus?

Coverage is being layered in — initial focus is on classical privacy + security frameworks. AI Act guidance is on the roadmap.
