Proofpoint, Inc., a prominent cybersecurity and compliance firm, has once again been recognised as a Leader in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Digital Communications Governance and Archiving Solutions. This recognition highlights Proofpoint’s comprehensive approach to managing information risks and supporting compliance needs across various industries.
The Gartner Magic Quadrant, last published in 2022 for Enterprise Information Archiving, previously recognised Proofpoint as the longest-running Leader, holding the title for ten consecutive years. The latest 2025 evaluation assessed 14 vendors, with Proofpoint earning its leadership spot due to its “Completeness of Vision” and “Ability to Execute.”
Mayank Choudhary, executive vice president and general manager of Proofpoint’s Information Protection and Compliance Group, highlighted the importance of effective communication governance amidst evolving challenges. “The proliferation of digital communication and collaboration tools has made it increasingly difficult to maintain visibility and context across disparate data sources,” he stated. “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.”
