Assessment Automation - October 27, 2025 - 202510.2.0 (Fall Release)

Fixed

  • Resolved an issue that allowed some invited users to configure saved views on the Assessments list screen.

  • Resolved an issue that allowed some invited users to export assessment results via API.

  • Resolved an issue that prevented some assessment stage names from translating correctly when the application language was set to Turkish.

  • Resolved an issue that prevented assessment deadlines in assessment reminder emails from matching the deadlines configured in the application.

  • Further improvements have been made to prevent user activity from being recorded incorrectly in the Assessment activity modal when assessment names are automatically updated to correspond to changed template names. The modal now displays "OneTrust User" as the user responsible for these changes.

New Public Preview Features

AI Inventory Record Analysis

|Available with Solution Packaging Only

Pre-populate questions on newly created assessments with AI-generated responses using the new AI Inventory Record Analysis feature.

These responses are based on data from previous, directly related assessments and inventories. This feature streamlines DPIA completion by reducing the time respondents spend on completing assessments and transferring previously entered information from PIAs.

Note:

Support for Third Party Risk Management assessments is forthcoming in OneTrust 202511.1.0.

Accessibility Conformance

  • Screen readers now correctly announce assessment names when checkboxes on the Assessments list screen receive focus (WCAG-A: 1.3.1 Info and Relationships).

Things to Know

Additional HTML Sanitization has been implemented in assessments. This sanitization is to supplement the safeguards already in effect and ensure the continued protection of our customers. OneTrust recommends users paste content as plain text or use the options available within the rich text editor. 

For more information on HTML sanitization, see the Open Worldwide Application Security Project's (OWASP) documentation.

Performance improvements have been made to ensure invited user roles function consistently when accessing and completing assessments.

Deleted users are now automatically removed from any assessments they were assigned to as anApproverorRespondent.
