LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Formstack, a leading form, document, and eSignature software provider, supporting more than 32,000 customers worldwide, today announced the acquisition of Open Raven, a leading data management and security company.
In addition to data capture, Formstack will expand its workflow platform to include data discovery, classification, and visibility to enable more data compliance and activation into the workflow, with enhanced security and control.
Open Raven Chief Executive Officer Dave Cole, the former Chief Product Officer of security industry giants Tenable (TENB) and Crowdstrike (CRWD), will assume the role of Formstack’s Chief Technology Officer.
“The best way to secure data is by integrating data security into the workflow,” said new Formstack Chief Technology Officer, Dave Cole. “That way, organizations can be productive, efficient, cost-effective, and deliver results, while addressing ever-increasing security and compliance risk.”
