This acquisition is timely as pressure from U.K. and U.S. regulators to retain voice calls accelerates. This is evidenced by the over $4B in GDPR penalties and recent fines from the CFTC (Commodity Futures Trading Commission). Organizations in heavily regulated industries like financial services, healthcare, and government must quickly adopt advanced compliance technologies with voice capture capabilities to mitigate risk and reputational damage.

“This acquisition enables Smarsh to accelerate our mission to deliver the most advanced and comprehensive AI-powered communications compliance platform in the market today,” said Kim Crawford Goodman, CEO of Smarsh. “Smarsh continues to lead in compliance innovation with the only cloud-native data warehouse in the industry, along with AI-powered insights and communications capture for 100+ communications channels — from email to LinkedIn, WhatsApp, and Zoom. With CallCabinet, Smarsh extends its leading communications capture capabilities to include advanced and scalable voice capture, voice surveillance, and voice insights technology. This will drive superior levels of integration and value to the market.”
