AUSTIN, Texas, Jan. 29, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Mitratech, a leading provider of legal and compliance software, today announced the acquisition of ClusterSeven Ltd. By offering their products alongside its existing governance, risk, and compliance solutions, Mitratech will provide the first-ever end-to-end solutions suite specifically aimed at elevating companies' data privacy and information governance efforts.

By adding solutions from ClusterSeven to a proven family of products, Mitratech now supplies a full spectrum of the tools needed to ensure data privacy, empowering information governance, and satisfy regulatory oversight.

ClusterSeven, based in London, U.K., provides a unique and innovative solution for discovering, managing and monitoring "Shadow IT" – the hidden, sensitive End User Computer (EUC) applications, spreadsheets, data assets and other applications that lie outside of IT's control but that an organization relies upon.

The new suite of solutions will give compliance teams capabilities to manage and mitigate risk:

• GRC teams will be able to manage obligations under thousands of ever-changing regulations.
• Translate obligations quickly and easily into policies and procedures they can rapidly create, review, communicate, and capture attestation to.
• Get visibility into the hidden, sensitive applications, spreadsheets, links, data assets and more that exist across a business but are outside of IT control.
• Collate, manage and mine data and business-critical content via a secure "single source of truth" central repository.
• Embed policy and information governance best practices in operational processes throughout the enterprise via workflow automation.

"With this acquisition, we're able to offer our clients the most comprehensive and truly end-to-end suite of solutions available today in the risk and compliance management segment," said Mike Williams, CEO of Mitratech. "No other provider has this breadth and depth of a product portfolio. And no one else has a team behind its products that's anywhere near as experienced, capable, and committed to client success as the one we've assembled."

Henry Umney, CEO of ClusterSeven, explained that "this is a case of the right alignment at the right time to meet the precise demands of the market. We've seen how regulatory complexities and the need to manage and mitigate financial, operational, regulatory and reputational risk by applying governance to a firm's EUCs and wider Shadow IT estate to maintain data integrity are driving companies to demand full-breadth technology offerings.  Adding ClusterSeven to Mitratech's Enterprise Compliance Suite (ECS) range of solutions addresses that very real and pressing need."
