This innovative solution launched in June 2018 to solve new security problems that global enterprises face today – protecting data while complying with GDPR, HIPPA, CCPA, SEC, ITAR, and labor laws in the EU and US. Hotshot recently closed its first round of seed funding and was invited to participate with the Luxembourg Government's technology incubation program as a Technoport startup.
