Our take
Cloud-based solutions for data management, security and GDPR compliance are increasingly important to the management of tech businesses. However, the tools available are modular and result in systems becoming complicated and time-consuming to use effectively.
Egnyte provides an integrated solution for GRDP compliance and data security. The startup reduces the likelihood of digital threats whilst maximizing efficiency for data management and compliance. Its software can locate, secure and lock down data to ensure security and compliance are taken care of within a single software package.
The company originally focused on data management, offering compliance and security as optional add-ons. However, due to the increasing complexity of data regulations, Egnyte switched to a more unified approach. The company is held in high regard, within an industry set to soar in value over the coming years.
