07Ireland & UK

TrustWorks vs Acompli for RoPA in Ireland and the UK

Both platforms serve the EU and UK market - Acompli is Ireland/UK-native - so for an Irish or UK team the deciding question is the depth and provenance of the Article 30 record. Records of processing are required under GDPR Article 30 - a controller record under Article 30(1) and a processor record under Article 30(2); the Irish DPC and the UK ICO each publish Article 30 documentation guidance, and the EU AI Act adds an AI-system register and assessment obligations.

For both TrustWorks and Acompli, buyers should ask to see entity-scoped exports, reviewer history, source evidence and how EU GDPR and UK GDPR records are separated in practice.

EU GDPR Article 30(1) and Article 30(2) controller and processor records.
UK GDPR Article 30 documentation and ICO guidance fit.
Irish DPC accountability expectations and exportable evidence for each legal entity.

08Shortlisting notes

When TrustWorks belongs on the shortlist

TrustWorks should remain on the shortlist when its published market lane, product strengths and buyer fit match the requirement.

Acompli should be evaluated only where its own workflow coverage matches the requirement; this page is intended to show overlap and gaps, not to force a universal replacement narrative.

Shortlist TrustWorks when its unified, collaborative privacy-management and AI-governance platform, consent and a free trial match the operating model.
Shortlist Acompli when the buyer places more weight on evidence provenance, imported current records and code-to-compliance evidence.
Ask each supplier to demonstrate the same workflow using current product screens, exports, review history and implementation assumptions.

Acompli answers

Acompli as a TrustWorks alternative

Who are TrustWorks's competitors?

TrustWorks's competitors in privacy management and AI governance include OneTrust, TrustArc, Ketch, PrivacyEngine and Osano. Acompli competes as a focused, evidence-first alternative for Ireland, UK and EU teams that want connected, traceable RoPA, DPIA, risk, vendor and AI-governance records with human approval and code-to-compliance linkage.

Is Acompli a good TrustWorks alternative?

Acompli is a strong TrustWorks alternative when the priority is evidence provenance rather than breadth of interface. RoPA, DPIA, DSAR, risk, vendor and AI Act records are connected, traceable to their source assessment, human-approved and exportable for the DPC or ICO. TrustWorks remains the better fit if you specifically need consent management or a self-serve free trial.

Does Acompli replace TrustWorks?

Acompli can replace TrustWorks for the core privacy and AI-governance workflows - RoPA, DPIA, privacy risk, vendor records, data mapping and EU AI Act governance - for many teams. It does not replace TrustWorks's consent-management features; teams that rely on consent would keep a dedicated tool alongside Acompli.

How do TrustWorks and Acompli differ?

Both are privacy and AI-governance platforms serving the EU and UK market. TrustWorks is a unified, collaborative platform with consent management and a free trial. Acompli is narrower and deeper on provenance: every Article 30 and AI-governance record traces back to its source assessment, with code-to-compliance evidence and a self-contained per-entity export.

Does TrustWorks do RoPA, DSAR and AI governance?

Yes - TrustWorks covers RoPA, DSR, assessments, risk and EU AI Act governance in a collaborative platform. The difference is Acompli's emphasis on evidence provenance and code-to-compliance: each record is traceable to the approved assessment that produced it and exportable for the DPC or ICO.

What is the best TrustWorks alternative for Irish and UK privacy teams?

The best TrustWorks alternative for Irish and UK privacy teams is one built around GDPR Article 30 and EU AI Act coverage, DPC and ICO fit, and a self-contained per-entity export - which is exactly what Acompli is built around: both Article 30(1) and 30(2) records plus AI Act records, EU and UK GDPR distinguished on one register, and an export the DPC or ICO can read without a platform login.

Does TrustWorks have ISO 27001 or SOC 2 certification?

TrustWorks holds ISO 27001 certification (including its AI Assistant in scope) and listed SOC 2 Type 2 as a 2025 target in its own documentation. Verify current status directly with TrustWorks before making a buying decision. Acompli's security and compliance posture should be confirmed through direct conversation as well - neither platform should be assessed on a single certification alone.

Where is TrustWorks based?

TrustWorks is headquartered in Valencia, Spain (legal entity QueryLayer S.L.), backed by Nauta Capital, Seedcamp and Elkstone Ventures (an Irish VC). It serves the EU and UK market and confirms EEA data residency. Acompli is Ireland-native, built specifically around the Irish DPC and UK ICO, with Article 30 and DPC documentation guidance built into the platform from the start.

How quickly can you implement TrustWorks?

TrustWorks claims standard migrations from OneTrust take 4-6 weeks, with complex enterprise setups at 8-12 weeks, and new deployments potentially in days via its no-code builder and dedicated onboarding. Acompli is also designed for fast time-to-value for Irish and UK teams: the priority is connected, evidence-traceable records rather than a broad integration setup, so implementation scope differs by use case.
