With new security solution, enterprises can navigate fragmented data privacy landscape and collaborate across geographies and lines of business
STAMFORD, Conn., March 28, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Protegrity, a global leader in data security and privacy, today announced the launch of the Protegrity Borderless Data Solution to enable easy, secure and compliant cross-border data flows for large global enterprises. The new solution brings together a suite of data security tools designed to help the world's largest banks, retailers and health insurers continue to reap the benefits of their investments in globalization in an increasingly unstable and fragmented global privacy regulatory landscape.
"Cross-border data flows are the cornerstone of our rapidly digitizing global economy," said Paul Mountford, CEO at Protegrity. "Data localization requirements, however well intended, put global innovation – which brings benefits to people everywhere – at risk. Protegrity's Borderless Data Solution helps enterprises put their cloud strategies back on track, expedite their growth plans, and turn privacy from an inhibitor into a business accelerator."
Cross-border data sharing allows businesses to innovate, governments to cooperate, and human beings to collaborate. For example, businesses can create new products, services, and operating models, or improve ESG monitoring along their supply chains. Security agencies and law enforcement can identify and track money laundering activities. Researchers can access global datasets to drive scientific advances. i
With the growing exposure of consumer data and concerns around national security, countries are rapidly adopting and evolving data localization regulations. But restricting data flows measurably reduces global trade, slows operational productivity, and increases prices for all industries that rely on data, according to the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation. When sensitive data can't cross borders, businesses must duplicate expensive infrastructure and restrict the data sharing and collaboration that are fundamental to driving innovation and growth.
"At a global level, it is very hard to support data movement," said the Global Senior Vice President of a large global financial services firm. "Through this service, I can guarantee that this data never leaves a particular entity and can satisfy any regulatory requirements. Using Protegrity, I can make those guarantees for our lines of business."

The solution is currently running in one of the world's largest enterprises to safeguard their most sensitive data.
By reestablishing secure cross-border data flows, Protegrity's Borderless Data Solution enables enterprises to:
