Government agencies are subject to more open records requests now than ever before, and at the same time, individuals are becoming increasingly aware of their rights to request information. As a result, government agencies are looking to modernize their workflows and provide quicker, less resource intensive responses that in turn create trust and transparency with constituents.

With OneTrust Government Records Request Automation, government entities can dynamically triage records requests, create a more secure and accurate fulfillment process, and improve response times. The technology brings together OneTrust's AI-driven data discovery, intake templates, automated workflows, and data redaction to give agencies the ability to scale their program when an influx of requests are received. The solution also offers a secure two-way communication portal and maintains a full audit trail of communications to demonstrate compliance.

OneTrust's Government Records Request Automation solution helps government organizations to:

Prepare for records requests by automatically discovering, classifying, and indexing information across structured and unstructured data sources
Streamline the intake of requests across websites and digital properties
Automate workflows and tasks to speed up the fulfillment process
Save time and cost by automatically scanning & redacting data in-scope of the request
Simply and securely communicate with the requester through a secure messaging portal
