Getvisibility: Strategic-Technological Assessment

Getvisibility is a quietly impactful player in Europe’s cybersecurity landscape, specializing in artificial intelligence for data discovery and classification. Founded in Cork, Ireland, this deep-tech startup has developed AI-driven software that finds and labels sensitive information buried in documents and emails[1]. Its mission is straightforward but critical: give organizations unprecedented visibility and control over their unstructured data. In an era when data breaches and espionage threats loom large, Getvisibility’s technology offers a proactive way to safeguard confidential files, intellectual property, and personal data. The company’s innovative “AI Mesh” – a network of machine learning models working in concert – has set it apart in the data security field[2]. Notably, global security firms have taken interest: in 2025, U.S.-based Forcepoint moved to acquire Getvisibility to bolster its own data protection capabilities[3]. This convergence of European innovation with allied demand underscores the strategic significance of Getvisibility’s technology. The following analysis explores how this small Irish AI firm fits into Europe’s broader quest for technological autonomy, stronger defenses, and reduced reliance on non-allied suppliers in the data security domain.
