OneTrust Alternative: Aldric Comparison

Modular privacy platform instead of enterprise suite: focused, transparent and EU-hosted.

The Problem

OneTrust is a comprehensive privacy management platform with a broad feature set. For many mid-sized companies, however, this brings challenges: the platform's complexity requires significant implementation effort, the pricing structure is often opaque, and many features are not actually needed. Additionally, data processing is not always exclusively located in the EU, which can be problematic for privacy-conscious organizations.

Our Solution

Aldric offers a focused alternative for organizations that need GDPR compliance without enterprise complexity. With dedicated modules for DPIA, data subject requests, deletion concepts and data processing agreements, the platform covers the core processes of privacy management. The modular approach with transparent seat-based pricing enables needs-based usage, while all data remains in EU infrastructure.
