ComplyKEY is a data compliance and management software company headquartered in Waterford, Ireland. It evolved from Waterford Technologies, a company with over two decades of experience in email and file archiving. In 2023, the company rebranded to ComplyKEY to reflect its broader focus on digital compliance and regulatory solutions.
ComplyKEY was originally founded in 2001 as Waterford Technologies. Over the years, it built a strong reputation in the EMEA region for providing enterprise-grade archiving and compliance tools.
