About Zartech

Zartech provides a governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) platform focused on cybersecurity and data privacy management. The platform combines security assessment capabilities, third-party risk management, and privacy compliance tools in a cloud-based solution. Their main product, Cyberator, serves as an integrated system for organizations to evaluate and improve their security posture while managing vendor relationships and regulatory requirements.

What does Zartech do?

The platform's core functionality centers on cybersecurity self-assessment and third-party vendor risk management. Organizations can conduct automated security assessments aligned with frameworks like NIST, while simultaneously evaluating the security practices of their vendors, partners, and suppliers. The assessment process is streamlined through a web console that allows users to launch campaigns for single or multiple vendors simultaneously.

In the privacy domain, Zartech provides tools for navigating complex regulatory requirements across different jurisdictions. The platform helps organizations identify applicable privacy laws, assess their current compliance status, and implement privacy-by-design principles in their products and services. This includes capabilities for tracking state-level privacy regulations in the United States as well as international requirements.

The solution incorporates several operational components including policy management, risk registers, and incident management tools. Users can maintain their IT security policies with version control and workflow automation, while tracking and prioritizing risks through a centralized system. The platform also provides vulnerability management capabilities and maintains digital audit trails for compliance purposes.

What makes Zartech different?

Zartech distinguishes itself through its integrated approach to GRC management. Rather than operating through separate systems and spreadsheets, the platform consolidates cybersecurity, risk management, audit, and compliance functions into a single environment. This integration extends to the assessment process, where the platform maps various cybersecurity frameworks against an organization's current and planned security posture.

The platform's automation capabilities focus on reducing manual effort in assessment activities. By shifting time-consuming tasks to the platform and vendors themselves, organizations can redirect their security resources toward remediation and strategic initiatives. The solution maintains TX-RAMP certification from the Texas Department of Information Resources, indicating compliance with state government security requirements.

Use cases and industries

Zartech serves organizations across different sizes and sectors, with specific plans tailored for enterprises, small businesses, and those primarily focused on third-party risk management. The platform addresses common security leadership challenges such as identifying vulnerabilities with limited resources, maintaining regulatory compliance, and prioritizing security investments.

The solution proves particularly relevant for organizations dealing with complex vendor ecosystems or operating under multiple regulatory frameworks. Its privacy modeling capabilities support businesses at various stages of their privacy journey, from initial compliance assessment to ongoing program management. The platform helps security teams prepare for audits by maintaining organized documentation and standardizing assessment processes across different control domains.
