I am curious – has anyone found dashboard type software to build a privacy programme like OneTrust/CyberComply etc for smaller organisations, has anyone found that they’re really are worth the cost?

For me the reporting dashboard that come with ANY of the solutions on the market are a secondary feature that enhances the primary reason for buying them in the first place; data discovery, mapping, ROPA, DSAR’s, Incidents and breach management, Privacy office / Data Protection programme / project task management etc etc
In that regard the cost is zero as it is a by product of other functionality you are paying for.
That being said you could always use other reporting platforms such as Power BI and expose via the platforms API’s and pull stuff out. I know of DPOrganizer clients that do exactly this to enhance the reporting aspects, especially in large “federated” type of instances and indeed other platforms offer the same potential.
Smaller companies are often Excel based for mapping so a logical use case, before they to the Paper to SaaS migration route, would be to natively leverage the Excel Reporting features or indeed use Power BI ..

For smaller organizations, Concord (www.concord.tech) is about to open up a free offering that strengthens privacy programs with tools like data discovery and mapping, consent management, DSAR workflows, granular reporting for ROPA/PIA, and customer privacy portal. Excel is great but can only go so far when scaling, and integrates with Concord’s platform.

Yes, I agree with Dave. My company uses OneTrust, but I work at big company. Previously we used Excel. Not a perfect solution, but if you are small, should be ok. And for reportin – yes, powerBI can do the trick. Or you can do summaries and graphs in excel sheets – depends what you want to see and report.
