About Spirion 🤙🏾

Founded in 2006 with the mission to address challenges related to managing sensitive information, Spirion stands out for its ability to deliver innovative and secure solutions.

Through advanced technologies like the AnyFind algorithm, Spirion enables companies to locate and secure every byte of sensitive data. This minimizes vulnerabilities and ensures comprehensive protection. Its mission is to guarantee regulatory compliance and data security.

A strategic expansion into Africa 🛠️

After opening data centers in Germany in September 2024 and in Australia in October 2024, Spirion is now establishing a presence in Africa. This move addresses the growing demand for SaaS (Software as a Service) data management solutions.

Indeed, Spirion aims to assist local businesses in discovering, classifying, and securing their sensitive data, all while complying with national regulations like the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA).

“Protecting what matters most, sensitive data, requires absolute precision,” said Kevin Coppins, CEO of Spirion.

Addressing compliance challenges 🌐

With the global growth of data, businesses face increasing challenges related to security and compliance. The Cape Town data center will enable South African companies to align their practices with both local and international standards.

Thanks to this infrastructure, Spirion ensures improved visibility and enhanced control over critical business data. Tools such as its enhanced « scanner node » architecture allow for efficient data analysis.

A global ambition 🚀

In less than six months, Spirion has successfully established three international data centers. This momentum reflects the company’s ambition to lead the management of sensitive data on a global scale. These expansions enable Spirion to adapt to the specific needs of each market while maintaining high standards of security and compliance.

According to Kevin Coppins, this proactive approach meets customer expectations and anticipates future regulatory developments in increasingly complex environments.
