Market Position
Enterprise privacy operations platform acquired by market leader OneTrust
Overview
WireWheel was a privacy operations and data governance platform founded to help organizations operationalize privacy compliance and manage consumer data subject rights requests at scale. The company provided software solutions that enabled businesses to respond to privacy requests, manage consent, conduct data inventories, and maintain compliance with regulations like GDPR, CCPA, and other global privacy laws. WireWheel's platform was designed to automate and streamline privacy workflows, making it easier for organizations to fulfill their obligations under various data protection frameworks. In August 2021, WireWheel was acquired by OneTrust, a leading privacy and data governance software provider. The acquisition strengthened OneTrust's capabilities in privacy operations and data subject rights management, integrating WireWheel's technology and team into OneTrust's broader privacy management platform. Following the acquisition, WireWheel's solutions were absorbed into OneTrust's product suite, and the company ceased to operate as a distinct entity. Prior to its acquisition, WireWheel had established itself as a notable player in the privacy technology space, serving enterprise clients across various industries who needed to manage complex privacy compliance requirements. The company's focus on operationalizing privacy through automation and workflow management made it an attractive acquisition target for OneTrust's expansion strategy in the privacy tech market.
