TrustArc Wins Gold Stevie® Award in 2018 International Business Awards®; Also Named a Finalist for 2018 SaaS Awards

"We are honored to receive these award recognitions for our SaaS privacy management platform," said Chris Babel, CEO of TrustArc. "Our technology is constantly evolving in tandem with the rapidly changing regulatory landscape to enable our customers to meet challenges and scale their compliance with global regulations such as the EU GDPR, EU–US Privacy Shield and APEC CBPR."

2018 International Business Awards, Also Known as the "International Stevies"
The International Business Awards (IBA) are the world's premier business awards program. All individuals and organizations worldwide – public and private, for-profit and nonprofit, large and small – are eligible to submit nominations. The 2018 IBAs received entries from 74 nations and territories. More than 3,900 nominations from organizations of all sizes and in virtually every industry were submitted this year for consideration in a wide range of categories.

Stevie Award winners were determined by the average scores of more than 270 executives worldwide who participated on 12 juries.

"This year's Stevie Award winners in the IBAs are the most distinguished group of winners we've had yet," said Michael Gallagher, president and founder of the Stevie Awards. "We raised the minimum average score from the judges required to qualify as a Stevie winner, so 2018 winners should be especially proud of their achievements. We look forward to presenting their Stevies to them in London on October 20, and to telling their stories over the coming year through Stevie Awards media."

Judges' commentary on the TrustArc Data Privacy Management Platform includes:

"The system is impressive considering it increases productivity, reduces costs and provides compliance assurance." 

"In the world of compliance, this is an exciting solution!"

"This product addresses an important need in the marketplace and has been designed with some future-proofing and attention to other privacy requirements beyond GDPR."

Now in its third year, the Software-as-a-Service Awards program recognizes innovation and excellence in software. For the 2018 SaaS Awards, the TrustArc Privacy Management Platform has been named finalist in the Best Security Innovation in a SaaS Product category.
