Bearer and Trace announce industry partnership

We’re delighted to announce that Bearer, the Data security risk platform, has partnered with Trace, to help clients leverage the best of services and software and build the future of connected compliance.

"By working together we believe we can offer the industry a very different outlook and bring together a new direction for data security in general."

Guillaume Montard , CEO Bearer

Together the teams bring the best blend of human and tech capabilities to help progressive organisations connect the dots for joined up data security, privacy and risk programmes. 

“Together with Bearer, we’re on a mission to break privacy, governance and security out of the silo and help build connected compliance across the ecosystem. We’re going to help organisations properly embed data protection compliance properly so that it informs and enriches everything they do.”

Sorcha Lorimer, Founder, Trace

Trace and Bearer’s partnership will kick-off with a clinic where attendees can pose real life dilemmas to our lead experts.

A white paper proposing solutions to some of the most pressing data compliance issues facing organisations will follow, sponsored by the Bearer Data-Sec Lab and community.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Why are Bearer and Trace collaborating like this?

We pride ourselves on being thought-leaders and often collaborate on projects where we can both bring unique value. Data protection compliance is about holistic data management and is at the nexus of software and service. Done well, it’s a collaborative effort at every level. We’re continuing in that spirit!

What will Clinic attendees get out of it?

Our clinic will give people wrestling with data protection compliance issues a sounding board to help them find solutions. The more we know about your organisation the better, but it’s ok to be ‘asking for a friend’ too. 

How do the solutions complement each other?

Trace and Bearer look at data protection compliance through slightly different lenses, and offer solutions for different elements of the challenge. Trace offers DPO services - privacy, governance, data risk, training - alongside a GDPR management app. Bearer, meanwhile, are tech and specific to cloud-native companies, surfacing data risks in their cloud-native stack.
