TrustArc, the leader in data privacy management and automation, and BigID, the leader in data discovery and intelligence for privacy, protection and perspective, announced a partnership to help organizations uncover, classify, understand, and protect personal and sensitive data for ongoing privacy compliance.

“Data is a company’s most vital asset. Maintaining data privacy reduces the risk businesses incur while simultaneously unlocking the business value of that data,” said Michael Lin, SVP product and engineering of TrustArc. “Our partnership with BigID combines its excellence in data discovery, an essential element of a strong privacy program, with a simplified, automated view of privacy compliance that only TrustArc can offer.”
