Which Compliance Tool Fits Your Business?
Three questions. One named recommendation — PrivacyReady, a generic generator, or enterprise GRC — with the reasoning behind it.
The right compliance tool depends on three things: your business size, whether you need ADM disclosure under APP 1.3 from 10 December 2026, and your budget. Enterprise businesses (200+ staff) generally fit OneTrust or TrustArc (~$10,000+/year). AU businesses needing ADM coverage fit PrivacyReady ($29/month). Budget-only, no-ADM businesses may fit a generic generator like GetTerms ($5–9/month).

Frequently asked questions
Is OneTrust a good alternative for a small Australian business?
Usually not. OneTrust and TrustArc are enterprise GRC platforms with typical minimum contract values around $10,000/year, built for organisations with 200+ staff and dedicated compliance teams. Australian small businesses are generally better matched to an SME-focused, AU-specific tool.
When does a generic policy generator make more sense than a compliance workspace?
When budget is the primary constraint, there's no automated decision-making (ADM) exposure, and only a basic policy document is needed. Generic generators like GetTerms ($5–9/month) are cheaper than a full compliance workspace but don't cover Australia-specific obligations, ADM disclosure, or ongoing compliance tracking.
