Our Company
ENGAIZ is a proud tech startup that firmly believes that effective Human-Led Engagement powered by AI-Driven technologies can help businesses Mitigate Digital Risks to build Digital Trust.
Digital transformation requires organizations to modernize their existing technology footprint, adopt new and innovative technologies to create digital products and services.
Today, no organization can thrive on its own and has to depend on an ecosystem of partners, third-party vendors, customers, regulators. This has led to digital risks such as cybersecurity, data privacy, regulatory compliance and much more.
While the digital risk landscape is broad, as a young purpose-driven startup our focus is on helping organizations identify, assess, mitigate, protect and transfer digital risks.
