About Us

Securiti has been widely recognized as an industry innovator, being named “Most Innovative Startup” at RSA Conference 2020, Leader in the Forrester Wave Privacy Management Software, winner of the 2020 HPE-IAPP Innovation Award, and Leader in the IDC Marketscape for Data Privacy Management. The company is being built by proven serial entrepreneurs and executives who have successfully built and scaled high growth global companies before.

Securiti solves challenges across governance, privacy, and security.
