("Shearwater", the "Company" or the "Group")
Maiden Contract Win for GeoLang
Shearwater Group plc (AIM: SWG), the digital resilience group,
is pleased to announce that its recently acquired portfolio
company, GeoLang Holdings Limited ("GeoLang" or the "Business"),
has been awarded its first enterprise licence contract under G
Cloud.
Under the terms of the agreement, GeoLang will deploy Ascema for
Endpoint for an initial 3,500 end users on a rolling annual
subscription, representing the launch of their new GDPR focused
Data Loss Protection software platform for enterprises.
Through this deployment, Ascema will initially enable the
customer to detect all Payment Card Industry ("PCI") and Personally
Identifiable Information ("PII") held across endpoints and servers
via GeoLang's patented, keyword matching algorithm, which will
assist in the production of PCI and PII audit compliance reports
and facilitate General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR") "Subject
Access" and "Right to be Forgotten" requests.
In addition to this, Ascema will also be able to track,
intervene and report the movement of high value content across the
organisation to ensure the customer will be able to demonstrate
robust data management practices in line with the upcoming GDPR
legislation due to come into force on 25 May 2018.
Michael (Mo) Stevens, Group Chief Executive Officer of
Shearwater, said: "I'm delighted Debbie and the team have already
landed their first G Cloud contract since joining the Group. The
risk environment for organisations has never been more heightened
when it comes to data and information security, particularly as
businesses become increasingly aware of the threats they face from
not only outside but also within the corporate infrastructure. The
potential for Ascema to assist companies of all sizes with the
management and protection of critical data is considerable and we
look forward to building on this early momentum as we progress
through the year."
Dr. Debbie Garside, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of
GeoLang, added: "Deploying our Ascema for Endpoint solution under a
G Cloud licence agreement for the first time is a great milestone
for the business but is only just the beginning. The market for DLP
solutions is rapidly changing and with Ascema we believe we have
developed a next generation data protection solution that not only
helps organisations manage and secure valuable information but can
also enhance business processes through leveraging our cost
effective, and easy to deploy state of the art technology. The
addition of our Endpoint solution to the Ascema stack means we are
now well placed to support information security across enterprise
authorised applications."
