The awards were reviewed by an esteemed panel of judges, including Elizabeth Denham CBE (former UK ICO), Gill Whitehead, Dr Lukasz Szpruch, Stewart Dresner, Bojana Bellamy, Nick Graham, Ashley Winton, and Joe Jones.
Zivver was shortlisted alongside 3M UK plc, OneTrust, Exterro, BigID, Privacy Culture Ltd, DataGuard and IBM, beating some very tough competition.

Zivver’s smart functionality includes advanced encryption, activated with one click, key management, two-factor authentication (2FA), and large file transfer.
“Email has become an integral part of the way we do business, but the security of sensitive data is not a given in this day and age,” said Wouter Klinkhamer, CEO at Zivver. “With so much at stake, businesses need to find a better way forward of ensuring security and compliance without burdening employees with unnecessary bureaucratic IT security and process overload. Enter Zivver.”
Wouter continued, “We are honored to receive the award for Most Impactful Privacy Product of the Year, which is a real testament to the dedication and brilliant talent of the Zivver team. We believe that employees must be empowered to focus on work that truly matters without unnecessary IT friction and free from unwieldy security protocols. It feels great to know that our efforts are making a huge impact.”

In addition to its global research report, “Freedom to Focus: securely empowered employees, protected businesses”, Zivver recently published its latest report investigating the role of digital communications in the UK healthcare sector. The new research found that almost half of healthcare professionals (49%) feel that too many data sharing and collaboration tools are the greatest cause of data security concerns.
