For the second consecutive year, the company joins the list of fastest-growing technology companies in North America, driven by enterprise appetite for expanded data orchestration offerings.
SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Transcend, the privacy & user data infrastructure platform powering the world’s leading brands, today announced its inclusion for the second consecutive year on the Deloitte Technology Fast 500™, a ranking of the 500 fastest-growing technology, media, telecommunications, life sciences, fintech, and energy tech companies in North America—now in its 31st year.
“Being recognized again on the Deloitte Fast 500 underscores how quickly the market is embracing Transcend’s AI-native foundation for data governance,” said CEO and co-founder Ben Brook. “Organizations are realizing that real-time user data permissioning—not manual workflows or static policies—is what unlocks compliant, scalable growth in the AI era, and our momentum reflects that shift.”
“We’re energized by the trust our customers place in us as they rebuild their data foundations for an AI-first future,” Brook added.
In 2025, Transcend updated its platform with new and enhanced capabilities to meet the market need to activate AI responsibly in the enterprise. Its Opt Out of Automated Decision-Making, (e.g. Do Not Train) and its Deep Deletion solutions embed governance within AI models and are already in use by leading companies to automatically process consumer choices across data systems. Meanwhile, Vendor AI Usage gives real-time visibility into how third parties are using AI, and Transcend Custom Functions and Workflows make it easier to automate user data operations end-to-end, no matter the system a customer or user’s data is stored.
Building on a record year of platform updates, Transcend was recently named a ‘Leader’ in the IDC MarketScape for Worldwide Data Privacy Compliance Software Vendor Assessment, 2025 (doc #US53068725, November 2025). The report noted, “Transcend is especially prominent in consent management, data mapping, DSR automation, and comprehensive privacy orchestration, emphasizing deep API, SDK, and integration capabilities for large, complex digital estates.”
Enterprises are responding to Transcend’s infrastructure-first approach with accelerating adoption. Companies across healthcare, finance, telecommunications, and technology have switched from legacy platforms to Transcend, drawn by the promise of deeply interconnected and automated governance that enables AI adoption and personalization rather than blocking it. The company serves customers across diverse industries, from Fortune 500 enterprises to high-growth category leaders, including Robinhood, Hims, Brex and GoCardless.
“Companies are done with platforms that treat data governance as a cost center. They’re choosing Transcend because our infrastructure turns privacy into a competitive advantage, powering AI deployments, personalization, and customer engagement at scale,” said Luke Arno, Chief Revenue Officer at Transcend. “And that clarity is showing up in the numbers, with Transcend posting a record-breaking quarter and year as customers shift to privacy systems built for growth, not just compliance.”
