Nested Table and Tree View for Risk Hierarchy

Identify, assess, and monitor risks across your organization with the redesigned Risk hierarchy list screen. This enhancement replaces the previous Risk Hierarchy Explorer and provides a more intuitive, visually appealing interface by using nested table and tree views to help you clearly visualize and manage parent-child risk relationships.

For more information, see Creating Risk Hierarchies.

Handling Blank Values in Formula Attributes

Enable the Assign Null (no value) to blank values in formulas setting in Global Settings to ensure blank values are treated as NULL (no value) instead of being assigned a value of zero in formulas. This setting determines how blank inputs are interpreted in the formula builder across the OneTrust Platform, specifically for score-formula and formula-type attributes.

Note:

For existing formula attributes, changes will take effect when the attribute is rescored.

For more information, see Configuring Formulas using the Formula Attribute.

Export Risks and Business Objectives to PDF

Generate PDF reports for individual or multiple risk and business objective records directly from their respective list screens. This enhancement streamlines reporting and improves visibility into key risk and objective data, helping to manage records more effectively.

For more information, see Creating and Managing Risks and Creating and Managing Business Objectives.

Shared Control Implementations on Risks

Create shared control implementations with multiple risks or a single control implementation for each risk from the Control Library and Inventory Details screens. You can also merge multiple implementations of the same library control into a single control or split a single implementation into several controls. This feature allows you to reduce the sprawl of control implementations created within your organization by removing redundant controls.

Key capabilities include:

Inventory Flexibility

Choose which inventories align to risk controls to provide greater flexibility when creating and updating risks.

Relationship Management

Add risks to existing control implementations or associate additional controls directly to risks.

Merge & Split Controls

Merge multiple implementations of the same library control sourced from a risk or split a shared control into single implementations for each risk.

For more information, see Managing Control Implementations and Managing Risks in the Risk Register.

Risk to Issues Conversion

Convert risks to issues on the Risk Register by assigning the risk to an issues workflow and mapping existing risk attributes to the new record. This feature allows you to easily convert risks to issues when they fall outside your organization’s risk criteria to help declutter your Risk Register and manage risks more effectively. You can revert conversions by restoring issues to risks on the new Converted risks screen.

For more information, see Converting Risks to Issues.

Standard / Framework Changes

New Rhode Island Data Transparency and Privacy Protection Act Framework Added

The Rhode Island Data Transparency and Privacy Protection Act (RI-DTPPA), effective January 1, 2026, mandates transparency and customer rights regarding personal data collected by for-profit entities conducting business in Rhode Island.

We’ve made implementing the RI-DTPPA easy by offering the framework on our platform and ensuring users can benefit from its overlap with other frameworks that exist on our platform. The platform contains survey questions to help you define scope that will bring all relevant controls, control implementation guidance and evidence tasks (including guidance) to help you in meeting the requirements of the RI-DTPPA.

For more information, see Supported Control Frameworks.
