About CloudLock

Headquartered in Waltham, Massachusetts, CloudLock is the cloud data security company that enables control of data while gaining the collaboration and cost savings benefits of the cloud.

CloudLock is focused on data. Laser focused. We have worked with thousands of customers to help them manage their data both on-premise and in the cloud. We’re enabling security conscious IT departments to leverage the cloud without sacrificing the control points and visibility they need to ensure the security of one of every organization’s most valuable assets: its data.

CloudLock’s enterprise-class products are directly integrated with cloud application providers and are immediately available at a fraction of the cost. There’s nothing to install, maintain, or patch, they are pure IT management applications in the cloud, for the cloud.

CloudLock’s solutions not only provide the functionality and control that IT needs, but also delivers robust end-user facing benefits that embolden business users to better manage their data and their groups data without requiring assistance from IT. This puts the power of data ownership and control back in the hands of the data owners and business leaders.
