RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, NC, Feb. 19, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Data443 Risk Mitigation, Inc. (“Data443” or the “Company”) (OTCPK: ATDS), a leading data security and privacy software company, is pleased to announce that it has acquired all rights to the data archiving platform ArcMail, representing its first acquisition of 2021.

Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

Founded in 2005, ArcMail is a pioneer and leader in the enterprise information and email archiving market.

Jason Remillard, CEO of Data443, commented, “Over the last two years the ArcMail product suite has been a tremendous differentiator for our Global Privacy Manager^™ offering. We are the only privacy and governance suite provider in the marketplace that provides data archiving solutions (on premise or in the cloud) for Office365, Google Suite, OneDrive, DropBox, and many other configurations. Privacy enablement for the GDPR, CPRA, or general FOIA requests continue to grow in complexity and burden for organizations of all sizes, and we continue to provide a fit-for-purpose solution for them.”

Our decision to acquire all rights to the ArcMail platform was an easy decision. The last 2 years has validated the continued demand for the ArcMail platform. We believe the acquisition will be seamless, with none of the integration costs or assimilation time delays commonly associated with acquisitions.
