Transcend and Integrative Privacy team up to migrate a $12B financial services firm off OneTrust after years of dissatisfaction with the platform.

Transcend, the autonomous data decision platform trusted by Fortune 500 brands, has entered a strategic professional services agreement with data consultancy Integrative Privacy. Our first milestone: migrating a leading $12B financial services company off OneTrust and onto Transcend's autonomous "can I use this data" platform.

The firm had spent years fighting legacy tooling that captured consent at the front end but left every downstream system guessing. Consent signals never reached the data warehouse and preferences went stale across business units, stalling personalization and AI initiatives in manual review. Integrative Privacy and Transcend are replacing that with a real-time permission layer encoded directly into the systems that process customer data, so the firm can activate its first-party data with confidence instead of waiting on governance.

From checkbox tooling to a decision layer

Under this agreement, Integrative Privacy leveraged Transcend's data decisioning platform to facilitate the seamless transition of the $12B financial services company to uplevel the company's data governance frameworks. The result is a single source of truth for every data decision, refreshed in real time and enforced automatically wherever data flows.

"Transcend powers every data decision so enterprises can scale customer growth without trading it for risk," said Ben Brook, CEO of Transcend. "Legacy platforms only manage the policy, while Transcend manages the data.

"Our partnership with Integrative Privacy is built on our shared vision of a digital transformation in privacy and data management. The industry has rejected manual spreadsheets and surveys and welcomed the level of automation only Transcend provides."

Integrative Privacy, known for its expert consultancy in the privacy space, played a crucial role in the transition process, ensuring the financial services giant not only met, but exceeded current regulatory requirements surrounding privacy. 

"This collaboration is about more than just transitioning to a new platform; it's about redefining what's possible in data privacy management by getting to the code layer," said Jake Ottenwaelder, founder of Integrative Privacy.

"Together with Transcend, we're paving the way for a wave of enterprises to adopt the dynamic, scalable, and effective privacy practices of tomorrow."

A commitment to enterprise excellence

This partnership reflects the growing importance of privacy technology that operates on data at the code layer, giving financial services organizations, Fortune 500s, and high-growth startups the tools they need to adapt to the complex, quickly shifting nature of tech stacks and data demands.

As AI and first-party initiatives multiply, the constraint is no longer collecting consent. It's enforcing every permission across hundreds of systems, in real time, without slowing the business down.
