Data Security & Privacy Software
About the Data Security & Privacy Software Awards
The Data Security & Privacy Software category recognizes solutions that protect sensitive data and help organizations respect privacy: data discovery and classification, data loss prevention, encryption, consent and privacy request management, and privacy compliance.
Who should enter: data security, data loss prevention, privacy management and data governance vendors, plus the companies, teams and leaders behind them. Products that use AI to find and classify sensitive data or detect risky activity can enter the AI-Powered SaaS awards; others enter Traditional SaaS.
Awards available: company, product, team and individual awards, including Best Product, Most Secure Company and Most Innovative Company.
What makes a strong Data Security & Privacy Software nomination
Strong nominations show sensitive data found, protected and handled responsibly. Useful evidence includes the share of sensitive data discovered and classified, incidents prevented, faster responses to privacy requests, smoother privacy audits, and reduced exposure of data across cloud and SaaS systems. Explain how the product works across the places customers keep data, and how it balances protection with getting work done. Make clear what sets it apart and add customer examples where permitted.
