OneTrust, a privacy software platform that has become one of the fastest-growing privately held companies in the United States, hit a 500-customer milestone in Brazil, a growing market where the Atlanta-based unicorn has invested in a physical presence. 

Of the customers using OneTrust to comply with Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados Pessoais, Brazil’s personal data privacy regulation similar to Europe’s GDPR, 30 percent are listed on the Brazil Stock Exchange, the company announced in a Sept. 13 blog post.

OneTrust operates a 50-person office in Sao Paulo to helm its local outreach, which includes local data center hosting options, control libraries in Portuguese (and other languages) and sales to enterprise and public-sector customers. The Portuguese-language-competent team in Atlanta has also been growing as the company creates more content and puts on more events to better serve customers.

“OneTrust has become the strategic solution of choice globally to implement the transparency, choice and accountability required to comply with global privacy regulations like the LGPD,” said Alex Bermudez, Brazil market lead for OneTrust. 

Mr. Bermudez announced that the company has hired Beto Santos, who has held leadership positions at GoDaddy.com, Adobe and Symantec, as part of its Latin America and Brazil leadership teams.
