WireWheel Named a 2019 Cool Vendor in Privacy Management by Gartner

ARLINGTON, Va., May 14, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- WireWheel, a leading privacy and data protection platform, today announced that it has been named a Cool Vendor in the Gartner April 2019 Cool Vendors in Privacy Management report. The Cool Vendors report by Bart Willemsen, Alan Dayley, and Nader Henein warns that "by 2021, organizations that bypass privacy requirements and are caught lacking in privacy protection will pay double the compliance costs than best-practice-adhering competitors."

Gartner also recommends organizations "increase customer trust by creating a smooth and direct privacy user experience by prioritizing automation and self-service capabilities over manual processes and reducing manual workforce pressure."

"We believe recognition as a Gartner Cool Vendor confirms that our strategy is addressing the top challenges privacy and IT teams struggle with every day," said Justin Antonipillai, CEO and co-founder of WireWheel. "We help companies accelerate compliance with GDPR, CCPA, and other regulations by making sure they know what personal data they have, where it resides, how it's processed, and who has access to it. As a result, they build trust with consumers, who expect their vendors to communicate openly and respond to data requests rapidly."

WireWheel's unique combination of functions increases transparency and efficient collaboration across privacy, security, business, and technical teams. Machine learning for data discovery and classification provides insight into an organization's data management architecture, along with context and control required to make privacy management decisions.
