We minimize the time data analysts spend locating sensitive information as the big data footprint increases. We believe this inclusion in Forrester’s report further validates that our data discovery and governance platform outlines key stages of readiness to safeguard sensitive data and sustain compliance now, and into the future.”

Spirion’s solution offerings are based upon the company’s Sensitive Data Platform (SDP). SDP introduces Privacy-Grade™ capabilities to security, privacy control, and privacy management initiatives to ensure sensitive information protections are persistently enforced throughout an enterprise.
