Yesterday

Proofpoint has been acknowledged as a Leader in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Digital Communications Governance and Archiving Solutions.

In the 2025 report, Gartner evaluated a total of 14 vendors and recognised Proofpoint for its ability to execute and completeness of vision. This marks a continuation of Proofpoint's history of leadership as it was also the longest-running Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Information Archiving, a position it held for ten consecutive times until the last publication in 2022.

Mayank Choudhary, Executive Vice President and General Manager of Proofpoint's Information Protection and Compliance Group, commented: "The proliferation of digital communication and collaboration tools has made it increasingly difficult to maintain visibility and context across disparate data sources. Coupled with the growing number of regulatory mandates, a more proactive approach to data management is increasingly critical to streamline e-discovery and supervision. We believe the Gartner evaluation further validates our steadfast commitment to facilitating informed compliance decision-making, managing information risk, and improving investigation readiness for our customers."

Proofpoint's Digital Communications Governance offering is designed to help organisations in managing the governance of communication data more efficiently. It streamlines security insights across all major digital channels to mitigate conduct risk while offering a unified approach to security and compliance risk management. This offering facilitates the centralisation of communications content and the enforcement of proactive and adaptive data controls.

Utilising Proofpoint's artificial intelligence engine, the Digital Communications Governance solution is reported to reduce false positives, aid high-efficiency information discovery, and enhance supervisory review processes. It aims to provide contextualised insights across every channel and aspect of digital communication data, improving review efficacy by 84% compared to traditional systems.

Proofpoint received an overall rating of 4.7 out of 5 based on 109 reviews on Gartner Peer Insights in the Enterprise Information Archiving market.
