Founded by Mastercard and IBM in 2018, Trūata specializes in privacy-
enhancing technologies for privacy risk assessment, de-identification, and
true anonymization of data. We were one of the first companies in the EU
to receive independently accredited ISO 27701 certification, the international
standard for data privacy management. In 2023, Mastercard acquired full
ownership of Trūata with Trūata continuing to operate as an independent entity.
By leveraging Trūata’s suite of proprietary solutions, organizations are
empowered to unlock powerful insights while complying with the
highest global data protection standards.
The Trūata business model embodies a passionate commitment to privacy by design. Our experts are leading the way in a totally new application of independent data management.
Trust runs deep in our relationships with our clients, because we truly respect the rights of the individuals from whom data is derived. By striving for entirely ethical analytics, Trūata enables organizations to realize the potential of untapped data while protecting their customers’ privacy.
