Partners:

PixAlert: "PixAlert is delighted to be a partner with Excelgate's Holistic Approach to Data Protection as it is a security initiative we firmly endorse through our data auditing solutions. In order to protect your data you must know where to find it and in implementing a data security framework, visibility into network exposures is a vital first step in assessing risk and an essential component in protecting data as a strategic and valuable corporate asset."



MetaCompliance: "At the heart of any compliance regime should be the realisation that prevention is better than cure. Getting higher levels of user awareness in the area of Privacy and Compliance is key to mitigating the risk of a compliance incident. Organisations need to use every tool at their disposal, and Excelguard is an invaluable addition to the compliance armoury."



VigiTrust: "This new offering from Excelgate Consulting allows organisations to take steps to create a data protection culture. Regular training of staff, through a variety of methods, is a key element of this. eLearning is a good alternative to face to face training where there are time and cost constraints in the business. Employers also can demonstrate compliance with training requirements."



DataEliminate: "Excelgate's exciting new initiative provides customers with a 360 degree solution from setting-up simple and practical measures to deploying high-tech defences. It's humans who represent the vulnerability in almost every case. Excelguard addresses that issue head-on."
