Data Privacy and Protection Company | Ardent Privacy

Ardent Approach

Aligned to Business

Privacy and security are not just IT
problems. We treat these as business
problems and go about solving them with
that mindset for effective solutions.

Risk Based Approach

This is especially important because privacy controls need to fully align to risks to businesses. There is a cost for implementing privacy controls and compliance with laws; we understand we need to be laser-focused to business needs.

Data Centric Approach

An approach to privacy and security must be data-centric as compared to perimeter focused approach today. Enterprises need to understand and prioritize data assets they are trying to protect to implement meaningful security programs.

Enterprise Ready

With our long-standing experience, we understand practical problems companies face while implementing a solution, and we have seen it many times. Privacy and Security departments already have enough challenges to protect organizations, we help them implement with a path of least resistance, going above and beyond.

New approach to solving problems

With increasing threats, Ardent enables innovative and nimble approach to address realistic security threats and solve privacy business problems.

Targeted approach to privacy and security

Time is of the essence when it comes to protecting your data because resources are limited. Ardent helps you protect what matters most.

CEO

From CEO's Desk

"We cannot protect what we do not know. Enterprises must know their data assets to protect them effectively. Today’s enterprise security programs and budgets are highly focused on perimeter security and unless we follow a data-centric approach, we will not be able to implement effective security and privacy. Privacy compliance is a great opportunity for organizations to move towards a data-centric approach and protect what matters most. "
