Formstack, a leading form, document, and e-signature software provider, supporting over 32,000 customers worldwide, announced the acquisition of Open Raven, a leading data management and security company.

Along with data capture, Formstack will expand its workflow platform to include data discovery, classification, and visibility to enable more data compliance and activation into the workflow, with enhanced security and control. Open Raven CEO Dave Cole, the former Chief Product Officer of security industry giants Tenable and Crowdstrike will assume the role of Formstack’s Chief Technology Officer.

Open Raven’s Data Security Platform works at a massive scale and provides 360-degree cloud data visibility, eliminates unnecessary costs and risks, and streamlines compliance. And Formstack will integrate Open Raven (its second acquisition in months) and provide its customers the ability to layer in essential data visibility and control, removing friction from data capture, activation, and compliance.

The financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
