Buyer-fit analysis

Where Fig is the cleaner fit, and where Tugboat Logic (OneTrust Certification Automation) may be.

This page was last reviewed on 27 April 2026. We separate certificate delivery, platform fit, MSP workflow, and procurement risk so the comparison is useful rather than just a vendor scorecard.

Where Fig is the cleaner fit

The buyer wants certification-led delivery rather than suite consolidation

Tugboat Logic now sits in the OneTrust ecosystem. Fig is the cleaner fit when the immediate problem is CE certification, support, and reusable evidence rather than consolidation into a larger enterprise suite.

The work is MSP-led

Fig is better suited where an MSP owns delivery across clients and needs a multi-tenant operating workflow rather than a single enterprise GRC instance.

Cyber Essentials is the first gate

If CE is the urgent gate and ISO 27001 follows later, Fig keeps the first certificate quick while preserving evidence for the broader programme.

Where Tugboat Logic (OneTrust Certification Automation) may be the cleaner fit

The organisation is already standardised on OneTrust

If privacy, risk, vendor management, and certification work already sit inside OneTrust, extending that suite can be operationally simpler.

The project is enterprise suite governance

For large enterprise teams buying a broad governance suite, OneTrust may fit procurement and internal ownership better than a CE-first workflow.

Claims to verify before buying

  • 01Confirm whether you need a broad enterprise suite or a direct Cyber Essentials certification path.
  • 02Ask who reviews Cyber Essentials answers before submission and how re-submissions are handled.
  • 03Check whether MSP multi-client delivery is supported natively or through process workaround.

How to read this

The useful question is not which vendor is universally better.

It is which route fits the buyer's certification, data residency, MSP, and assurance requirements. Fig is strongest where Cyber Essentials certification, IASME-licensed assessment, UK support, published pricing, and MSP delivery are part of the requirement. Tugboat Logic (OneTrust Certification Automation) may still be the better choice where its existing product focus, contract position, or implementation model is already aligned to the buyer.

Step 01

Confirm what is being purchased

A formal certificate, a compliance automation platform, a consultancy engagement, or a mixture. Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus must be delivered through an IASME-licensed certification body; generic compliance automation alone does not issue the official certificate.

Step 02

Match supplier to job

If the job is to pass Cyber Essentials quickly, the decisive evidence is IASME licence status, assessor responsiveness, price, re-submission policy, and certificate turnaround. If the job is broader governance automation, the decisive evidence is control ownership, policy workflow, evidence retention, and renewal support.

Buyer checklist

Six questions to ask both suppliers

  • 01Are you IASME-licensed? If yes, ask for the licence ID. If no, the supplier cannot issue the official Cyber Essentials certificate.
  • 02Is pricing published? Gated, per-certification, subscription, or consultancy-led - confirm before procurement.
  • 03Are re-submissions, readiness support, and urgent turnaround included, or charged separately?
  • 04For MSPs: confirm tenant isolation, white-labelling, client reporting, and the margin model.
  • 05For audit: how is evidence retained, exported, and mapped to framework controls?
  • 06For renewal: does the provider support next year's certificate, or only the first submission?
