Osano

Osano sells a data privacy management platform built around three linked workflows: consent and cookie compliance (auto-scanning a site for trackers, generating consent banners, and blocking non-consented scripts across a company’s domains), data subject request (DSAR) automation for handling GDPR/CCPA access and deletion requests, and third-party vendor privacy risk assessment. The pitch is a single system of record for a privacy program rather than a point tool for cookie banners alone, competing against both dedicated consent-management vendors and modules inside larger GRC suites like OneTrust.

Founded in Austin, Texas in 2018 by Arlo Gilbert and Scott Hertel, Osano grew out of an earlier, simpler opt-out tracking tool into the current compliance platform. The company raised a $25 million Series B in August 2023, led by Baird Capital with participation from Jump Capital and existing investors, bringing total disclosed funding to roughly $44 million, and has grown to approximately 90-95 employees.

Osano’s differentiator is a privacy law database, maintained by an in-house legal team, that tracks more than 50 U.S. state and international privacy laws and feeds directly into the product’s risk-scoring and consent logic. That breadth-first approach is useful for mid-market companies trying to stay current across a fragmented and fast-changing U.S. state privacy law landscape, though it means Osano competes on coverage and price against OneTrust’s dominant, more deeply-featured enterprise suite rather than out-innovating it on any single workflow.
