WASHINGTON, March 17, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- ActiveNav, the data privacy and governance software provider, announces its 172 ranking on the Inc. 5000 Regionals: D.C. Metro list, the most prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing Washington, D.C. area-based private companies.
"It's an honor to be recognized as one of the fastest-growing companies in the D.C. Metro region with this Inc. 5000 award," said Peter Baumann, CEO and Founder of ActiveNav. "At ActiveNav, we're working towards a future of Zero Dark Data, a time where organizations gain complete visibility into their data universe. Data privacy and governance teams try to discover all their data using multiple tools and manual workflows but can't keep up given the sheer amount of data being created every day. ActiveNav addresses this challenge by enabling the automation of data mapping, classification, migration, and deletion. Our customers can achieve rapid minimization of their data universe without needing armies of people or huge budgets."
To support its growth, ActiveNav plans to significantly increase its headcount in 2021, as well as a move to a larger office in the D.C. Metro area. The company has seen revenue increase quarter over quarter, and anticipates this momentum to continue, particularly as data privacy regulations (like Virginia's recent Consumer Data Protection Act) continue to proliferate.
