Spirion LLC, a global leader in data discovery, classification, and remediation, has announced the launch of its first data center in South Africa. The new facility in Cape Town is the company’s third international expansion in just five months.
This strategic move aims to support customers transitioning to Spirion’s Software as a Service (SaaS) platform. The center will help South African businesses comply with local data regulations, including the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA).
Kevin Coppins, Spirion CEO, highlighted the importance of this expansion. “We’re thrilled to open our third global data center in just a few months.
“Protecting what matters most—sensitive data—requires accurate data discovery and classification. Spirion now offers this critical capability for any sensitive data-related initiative regardless of industry and geographic location.”
Addressing Growing Market Demand
South Africa’s booming data landscape presents unique challenges for companies handling sensitive information. The Cape Town center offers essential tools for businesses to safeguard their data effectively. The facility joins recent expansions in Frankfurt, Germany, and Sydney, Australia.
The company’s solutions help organizations locate unknown data, classify it, and ensure compliance seamlessly. This capability supports companies across various industries in managing their data securely and responsibly.
As enterprises face rising data usage and storage needs, Spirion continues to innovate. The company recently improved its Sensitive Data Platform (SDP) with an upgraded scanner node architecture.
These enhancements enable businesses to analyze data at a massive petabyte scale with improved visibility and control.
