About Ishan: A born entrepreneur, Ishan has always looked for ways to make things work better. So when he found himself in a vendor role in a previous business venture, he immediately recognized the bulky nature and time investment involved when companies tried to tackle the complexities of cybersecurity data flowing downstream internally. As data breaches and hacks became the norm, Ishan saw a need for third-party risk management solutions that would not only be easier to implement but ubiquitous to companies of varying sizes. Taking these insights, he went on to found Privva in 2016. He did this with the conviction that Vendor Risk Management is a more effective and efficient undertaking for small to mid-range businesses when the platform is easy to use and has an interface that requires no integrations for quick deployment. While focused on empowering small to mid-range-sized businesses to take control of their security, Privva’s Vendor Risk Management dashboard is a sound and powerful cybersecurity tool capable of serving any size enterprise.
