ftapi.com zoominfo.com/c/ftapi-software/346927067 FTAPI (founded 2010, Munich, Germany) is a software company offering a secure, GDPR-compliant platform for exchanging sensitive business data and automating workflows — encrypted email and file transfer, virtual data rooms, digital forms and no-code process automation. It serves 2,000+ organizations and over a million users, mainly in public administration, healthcare, insurance and industry, with all data hosted exclusively in Germany under strict certifications (ISO 27001, BSI C5, SOC 2) and optional zero-knowledge encryption. Its core selling point is European digital sovereignty — a compliant alternative to US cloud tools like Dropbox under GDPR, NIS-2 and DORA regulations. In 2025 it raised €65 million from PE investors Armira and Tikehau Capital, which took control to fund EU expansion and acquisitions. The company employs around 150 people and targets becoming a leading European player in secure data exchange by 2028–29.
