MEOK vs OneTrust

OneTrust shipped a generic 'AI Governance' module in 2024 covering AI inventory + risk classification, but it does not ship pre-built EU AI Act Article-by-Article controls. To configure Articles 4/9/10/13/14/15/26/43/50/72 + DORA + NIS2 + CRA on OneTrust requires significant professional services time + 6-figure contract. MEOK ships those pre-built, MIT-licensed, no configuration.

Yes — recommended for enterprise. OneTrust handles privacy GRC + cookie consent + DSAR + vendor TPRM. MEOK provides the EU regulatory crosswalks + signed evidence + cryptographic verifier that flow into OneTrust as evidence artefacts. Different layers; complementary.

OneTrust enterprise starts ~$50K/yr (small team, 1-2 modules) and scales to $300K+/yr (multi-module + AI Governance + Privacy + ESG). MEOK Pro is £79/mo (£790/yr). For a typical mid-market company already paying for OneTrust, adding MEOK Pro is a rounding error that closes the EU regulatory gap.

Not natively. OneTrust produces audit-ready dashboards + assessment reports but does not HMAC-sign evidence for independent auditor verification. MEOK signs every attestation with HMAC-SHA256 and exposes a public verify_url. The signed certs flow into OneTrust as evidence + give external auditors a verification path.

Three reasons: (1) you need pre-built EU AI Act / DORA / NIS2 / CRA controls without months of OneTrust professional services configuration; (2) you need cryptographically signed evidence with external verifier; (3) you want open-source MIT-licensed MCPs you can pull into your own agent stack. For Fortune 500 privacy GRC teams running OneTrust already, MEOK augments. For pre-Series-C AI companies, MEOK alone is sufficient.
