What is a Breakwater?
A breakwater is a barrier built out into a body of water to protect a coast or harbor from the force of waves. At Breakwater, we work to protect your business from oceans of data risk.
Breakwater in the News
Breakwater's executives and expert consultants are making news. Read about it here.We founded Breakwater on the premise that data issues and their resultant solutions are seldomly one-off or isolated. You can solve an individual problem, but they are caused by or can create a more systemic issue in your company. A comprehensive strategy requires a team and solutions that appreciate the source of these issues and the impacts of providing a resolution when working with your company. Your approach must be thoughtful and comprehensive to minimize operational disruption by being focused but progressive to improve the company’s governance posture. These solutions require a team and products that are borne from experience. Our company solely focuses on this, and we collectively have hundreds of years of relevant experience within our company.
