Management Commentary:

Jason Remillard, Data443’s founder and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “I’m pleased to report our financial results, proof that we continue to deliver on the promise of compounding and sustaining revenue growth. Even in these choppy times, our continued focus on delivering for our customers has enabled us to continue to post historic results. Because of these efforts, I am proud to report that our customer retention rate thus far in 2021 has exceeded 98%.”

“As our clients continue to subscribe via our cloud-based service offerings, they are able to consume more from our expanding product offerings a la carte due simply to efficient pricing and cost certainties. Most organizations, and even the federal government now, are adopting a multi-cloud approach for their IT services. Since Day 1 we have engineered and designed for a multi-cloud scenario, which is why we are having continued success and growth in finding, identifying, and protecting data. This is where we’ve positioned Data443 to be.”

Remillard concluded by stating, “The accelerated tailwinds of greater digital transformation and data security demands positions us exceedingly well to deliver to our customers over the long term, which will certainly benefit our shareholders. We plan to further capitalize on the market opportunities ahead of us every day, from the pursuit of new business opportunities to the steady flow of acquisition candidates that we evaluate on a regular basis. I’m very proud of the trust we’ve earned from our customers, our partners and our strategic relationships, which includes some of the largest and most essential institutions in the world. We do not take this lightly. I would like to thank all of our key stakeholders, including our loyal shareholders, for their continued support.”
