About Trūata

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.
