BATON ROUGE, LA (February 12, 2014) – TraceSecurity, a pioneer in cloud-based IT governance, risk and compliance (GRC) solutions, today announced that the company had exceeded expectations for 2013 and, as a result, is expecting to see a continued growth trajectory in 2014.
TraceSecurity continued to gain exponential traction for TraceCSO, the company’s cloud-based software solution, across a variety of industry verticals in 2013, with new enhancements to the popular product added in July and November. In February, the company announced a key integration partnership with Qualys Inc.; then followed in March with the launch of the company’s formal channel partner program. As a result of these and other accomplishments, Enterprise Management Group in September recognized TraceSecurity as a “Vendor to Watch” within the IT GRC security space in the coming months and years.
“We are exceedingly humbled by the company’s achievements this past year,” said Peter Stewart, TraceSecurity president and CEO. “With a great team and a tremendous amount of dedication we have successfully delivered a new standard in information security, compliance and risk management. In 2014, we will raise the bar again, focusing on continued partner support and seamless integration technologies. Our products will provide even more built-in information security expertise and tutorials, enhanced regulatory change management, GUI optimization and improved reporting capabilities.”

- The company recorded a record year for customer additions, exceeding some 1,700 total clients and with an equally impressive 90+ percent retention rate.
- Launched just over a year ago, TraceSecurity has implemented 250 TraceCSO organizations across industries including financial services, healthcare, education, legal and technology; and, is expected to more than triple this number by year’s end.
- TraceSecurity launched its channel partner program for VARs, Managed Service Providers and consulting firms. The program has delivered solid, early growth, providing partners with comprehensive solutions that are easy to manage and complement their existing offerings.
