Tugboat Logic enables companies of all sizes to gain trust and competitive differentiation from certifications such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, and more
OneTrust, the category-defining enterprise platform to operationalize trust, announced it signed a definitive agreement to acquire Tugboat Logic, a technology platform that simplifies and automates information security assurance and audit readiness for dozens of security frameworks such as ISO 27001, SOC 2, CMMC, HIPAA, and PCI DSS.
As a part of OneTrust, Tugboat Logic will deliver a security platform companies can grow into. For smaller security teams, Tugboat Logic provides advanced automation and intelligence capabilities that help them build security programs and win business. As programs evolve, companies can mature into OneTrust’s suite of enterprise GRC solutions that reduce the overhead and inefficiencies of legacy GRC tools. OneTrust will also accelerate Tugboat Logic’s growth globally and into adjacent OneTrust offerings, including privacy, ethics and compliance, ESG, third-party risk, and data governance.

The GRC market is evolving beyond reactive, overly complex, and segmented approaches to quantifying and managing risk. Organizations of all sizes should have access to the competitive benefits of innovative solutions that demonstrate strong security practices.

The planned addition of Tugboat Logic into the OneTrust portfolio adds a new entry point into the platform. Tugboat Logic helps growing companies – regardless of their size or maturity level – realize the business value and internal compliance benefits of achieving compliance standards like ISO 27001 and SOC 2. The AI-driven platform uses an automated framework to help companies from growing startups to enterprises regardless of security budgets use a simple, automated platform to gain the competitive advantage of security certifications.
