CloudLock is one of the premier companies to offer enterprise-class cloud data security solutions for organizations that utilize Google (News - Alert) Apps. The company recently announced that it has entered into a partnership agreement with gPartner, which is one of the leading French Google Apps integrators.
This new partnership will now offer e-Discovery, Governance, Risk Management, and Compliance (eGRC) to the rapidly growing French Google Apps market. In a release, CloudLock CEO and Co-Founder Gil Zimmermann (News - Alert) said, “As more and more organizations are leveraging Google Apps as their primary business data repository, they are looking to balance the inherent risks and requirements of eGRC with the benefits of unfettered collaboration. CloudLock enables organizations using Google Apps to achieve both, by empowering users to share securely and the organization to implement and adhere to their eGRC requirements. CloudLock is excited by the opportunity to partner with gPartner to bring the winning combination of local expertise and best-in-class solutions to the French market.”
Sébastien Ricard, CEO of gPartner, said, "This partnership will help us answer to a growing demand from our clients. CloudLock Security for Google Apps will help our clients meet their security, governance, and risk management requirements, reduce administrative costs, and accelerate longer term cloud strategies. The need to secure and simplify access is in high demand with security, network and application teams, especially those tasked with extending their enterprise to Google Apps. Our goal is to help customers make the transition smoothly and securely."
