“With this important investment, we not only endow the resource project, but we also surround ourselves with important profiles to accelerate this international expansion and growth,” added Casellas.

The entrepreneurs and founding partners of the company include:

  • Casellas, who is also the Co-Founder of Red Points.
  • Pere Simón, COO and expert lawyer in data protection, Certifier of Delegates of Data Protection.
  • Lluís Alsina, a senior executive with more than 10 years of experience managing Digital teams and Business Development for global brands in sports (FC Barcelona, 2010-2017) and TV (Endemol Spain, 2006-2010).

With only six months in the market, Pridatect already has more than 200 clients that in turn have adapted the new GDPR to more than 1,500 companies in Spain.

Until recently, regulatory compliance was complex and slow due to the amount of documentation required by the new GDPR, which also requires keeping all information updated in a secure environment.
