Last month, Gartner® published its Market Guide for Active Metadata Management*.

We were delighted – but not surprised – to see that Solidatus was named a Representative Vendor in this Market Guide report as to us, active metadata is at the heart of everything we do.

But what is active metadata?

On 28th May 2018, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) changed the data privacy landscape forever. What organisations sometimes missed when the regulation came into force was that GDPR should not have been viewed as a burden or to have been treated as a tick-box exercise. 

A cursory glance at this handbook’s table of contents reminds us of how many rules we are subject to. New regulations are coming into effect, including some whose key phases or final deadlines were delayed in 2020-21 due to the pandemic; we are also anticipating updates to existing regulations. Managing sensitive data in accordance with a myriad of privacy requirements around the world is a rapidly expanding concern.

At the A-Team RegTech Summit APAC Virtual on Thursday 4 November, we joined experts and industry leaders to explore the current regulatory environment in Asia Pacific, as well as how and where it will continue to evolve with the help of RegTech innovations. 

In this Q&A with EM360, Solidatus’ Co-CEO Philip Dutton sat down to discuss what makes Solidatus different to other data privacy solutions on the market, how we’re helping organisations reduce costs, and what organisations can do to stay ahead of the curve when it comes to data privacy.
