Foundation
We are a start-up from Lisbon, Portugal, founded by researchers from a very prolific R&D group – LASIGE – within the University of Lisbon. For the past years, we have been working in several technologies related to data security because we believe everyone is entitled to control and decide the destiny of their own data, companies should be more responsible in handling such valuable, and personal, assets. In May 2019, Vawlt gained traction and our company was founded.
Mission
Vawlt’s vision is to be a leading solution in the movement of data to the cloud, enabling companies to increase their security and efficiency standards without compromising their focus on the business.
