OneTrust says its AI governance offering embeds compliance and control across the AI lifecycle. OneTrust says it turns AI policy into controls that work across homegrown and third-party AI, detects shadow AI, prevents sensitive data leaks, and gives security and governance teams proof that controls are working in production. OneTrust continuously discovers AI across changing environments so teams know what is running, who owns it, and whether it was ever formally reviewed. OneTrust applies EU AI Act, NIST AI Risk Management Framework, and ISO 42001 templates. OneTrust says teams use AI Policy Manager to define policy intent, scope, applicability, and required controls, then use Guardrail Enforcement to execute technical actions where AI runs. The OneTrust AI Guard SDK is a Python SDK that identifies sensitive data in prompts and responses in real time, before the model sees it. OneTrust analyzes AI interaction logs from Amazon Bedrock and Microsoft Foundry to detect and report PII in prompts and responses. OneTrust governs agents with defined purpose, permissions, and allowed actions to extend auditable controls across agentic and MCP-enabled environments.^[2][7][12]
