INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
When Okta launched its $50 million Okta Ventures investment fund in April, one of its investments was in an early-stage privacy startup
Today, the companies announced a partnership that they hope will help boost DataGrail, while providing Okta customers with a privacy tool
option.DataGrail CEO and co-founder Daniel Barber says that with the increase in privacy legislation, from GDPR to the upcoming California
Consumer Protection Act (and many other proposed bills in various states of progress), companies need tools to help them comply and protect
Whereas Okta provides a place to access all of your cloud applications from a single place with one logon, DataGrail connects to your
applications with connectors to provide a way to monitor privacy across the organization from a single view.It currently has 180 connectors
to common enterprise applications like Salesforce, HubSpot, Marketo and Oracle
It then collects this data and presents it to the company in a central interface to help ensure privacy
explained.The company just launched last year, but Barber sees similarities in their approaches
companies that fit well with Okta
They enable these technology companies to become not only compliant, but do it in a way where they were not directly in the flow, that they
off the ground, having a public company in your corner as an investor, as well as a partner, could help push the company forward
