Company mission

To save companies time, money, and stress - to focus on their actual business.

Our take

As businesses become more data driven, privacy concerns mean that regulations on the proper handling of that data have also increased. The volume of data flowing through most modern companies is extremely hard to manage manually while remaining compliant to laws such the GDPR, which can leave companies liable to fines of up to 20 million Euros per breach. This puts businesses in a position where they have to spend their resources on data compliance instead of their core product.

Kertos exists to fix this with a platform that is able to automatically manage data privacy in a compliant way across an entire business. Able to integrate with most major data silos, databases and SaaS applications, it is capable of yielding up to 80% savings on resources compared to manual privacy operations. This has grown it a customer base including the likes of Gorillas, McMakler and Wellster HealthTech.

Kertos has recently raised funding which will be used to scale the company's operations and invest in product development. Going forward Kertos will also aim to enter into strategic partnerships to grow its marketing reach and expand its customer base. With an innovative, first-in-class product and significant investor backing, Kertos is well poised to grow into a significant business in the privacy automation space.
