The partnership will empower companies to adopt and implement the integrated privacy management framework built on BigID alongside leading GRC tools to create a level playing field for the three lines of defense to come together, while managing risk and regulatory obligations. The solution engineered to help clients realize deeper insights from their data, create a baseline of a typical privacy environment, and gain actionable intelligence to help prevent and fix data privacy, security, and compliance gaps at scale.

Together, BigID and Templar Shield can help companies take a forward-looking approach to minimize data collection and implement a privacy first approach to effectively:

· Reduce sensitive and personal data risk exposure

· Meet regulatory obligations

· Reduce the risk of data losses or leaks
