AUSTIN, Texas and ATLANTA, April 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- ALTR, the leading provider of advanced data security for data-driven enterprises, today announced a partnership with OneTrust, the #1 fastest-growing company on the Inc. 500 and category-defining enterprise platform to operationalize trust. With the partnership, the companies are providing an integrated solution for data governance and protection, enabling businesses to discover and classify sensitive data in their organizations, set policy and governance over the data, and protect data in motion and at rest.

As more organizations are moving their data workloads to cloud data platforms such as Snowflake, the need to discover, classify, and protect sensitive data is critical as leaders look to mitigate risk and protect against security threats. The ALTR and OneTrust partnership provides businesses with the ability to meet the risks of innovating in the cloud head-on with visibility into where sensitive data is stored so that access can be automated and governed. The integration further enables organizations to confidently demonstrate compliance with global privacy regulations such as GDPR, CCPA, and others.

The partnership brings together OneTrust DataGovernance with ALTR's Data Consumption Governance and Data Protection Service which together provide granular control over data to automatically discover, classify, and control access to sensitive personal data. Joint customers benefit from powerful, automated governance and security through a simple, cloud native integration.

"We're thrilled to partner with OneTrust to bring our common customers more powerful ways to govern and protect sensitive data across their organizations and in the cloud," said Dave Sikora, CEO at ALTR. "OneTrust's model for data discovery and classification, combined with ALTRs data intelligence, governance, and security capabilities provide an industry-leading protection solution for customers across all industries."

"OneTrust and ALTR's partnership will provide our customers with a seamless way to automatically enforce data governance policies, mitigate risk, and ensure compliance with a simple, integrated approach", said Blake Brannon, OneTrust CTO. "ALTR's data consumption and protection capabilities combined with OneTrust DataDiscovery and DataGovernance will enable businesses to confidently detect and protect their sensitive data."
