In a year marked by record-breaking competition, Altrata has been shortlisted as a finalist for the PICCASO Award for Best Privacy Programme, a distinction that reflects our unwavering commitment to data privacy, security, and ethical practices in the people intelligence industry.
The PICCASO Awards Europe, now in their fourth edition, celebrate individuals, organizations, and innovations shaping the future of privacy, information security, and compliance across the continent.
This year’s competition was exceptional, with over 550 nominations received, representing 154 leading companies across the privacy, security, and compliance landscape. The Award for Best Privacy Programme included just seven organizations and making it onto this shortlist represents a significant achievement in itself, given the exceptional caliber of organizations recognized this year.
Setting the standard for responsible data stewardship
The Best Privacy Programme Award is presented to organizations that have implemented robust and proactive privacy programs with demonstrable results. Winners in this category showcase strategy, scalability, team involvement, and positive impact on consumer trust and regulatory compliance. These are companies that don’t simply meet regulatory requirements, they set the standard for what responsible data stewardship looks like in practice.
At Altrata, our commitment to ethical data practices, privacy, and compliance isn’t just a responsibility, it’s a promise.
At Altrata, this shortlist recognition validates an approach we’ve held since our founding: that privacy and security aren’t afterthoughts or checkbox exercises. They’re fundamental to who we are and how we operate.
Our privacy promise: a commitment to secure data
At Altrata, our commitment to ethical data practices, privacy, and compliance isn’t just a responsibility, it’s a promise. In an era where personal information has become one of the world’s most valuable assets, businesses need partners they can trust with both data quality and data security. We’ve designed our company from the ground up to deliver on both fronts.
Unlike providers that prioritize scale over accountability, Altrata combines best-in-class security and legal compliance with a human-verified approach to research. While many companies have leaned purely into automation, we continue to invest in people. Our human researchers meticulously verify and source data to reduce the privacy risks of AI and ensure more ethical handling at every level of our company and product portfolio.
This approach is embedded in our culture, operations, and leadership. Privacy compliance is overseen at the highest levels of the company, with our General Counsel (a veteran with more than 15 years of experience in data protection law) setting rigorous standards across our organization. We’re compliant with prevailing data privacy laws and standards recognized around the world, including US federal law, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), China’s Personal Information Protection Law, and California’s landmark Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).
We continuously track emerging legislation worldwide and update our processes accordingly to stay ahead of evolving regulations. This proactive stance ensures our clients can trust that our practices don’t just meet today’s standards, they anticipate tomorrow’s too.
Security by design, ensured by experts
We recognize the high standards our clients expect for security, which is why every Altrata product is built with state-of-the-art technologies to be secure by design. We regularly invest in independent auditors to assess our security environment as part of the SOC2 attestation. We also conduct continuous penetration testing and make our audit reports, along with our full collection of security documentation, available to clients and prospects upon request.
People intelligence that you can trust
Being shortlisted for the PICCASO Awards Europe highlights Altrata’s leadership in privacy and data protection. As the awards are delivered in partnership with GRC World Forums and are part of a broader mission to foster dialogue around data ethics, behavioral change, communication, and governance, this recognition supports the view that our approach to privacy not only meets regulatory requirements but delivers measurable impact, reinforcing our commitment to protecting client data and driving trust.
This recognition affirms what we’ve always believed: that when you build privacy and security into your foundation rather than retrofitting them later, everyone wins: your clients, their customers, and the industry as a whole.
We’re honored to stand among Europe’s privacy leaders and proud to continue setting the standard for ethical data intelligence.
