    About Cognism

    Cognism is a leader in premium sales intelligence, specifically designed to help B2B revenue teams find and close new business in a compliant manner. It distinguishes itself from competitors by offering 'Diamond Data'—mobile numbers that are manually verified by an in-house research team to ensure high connect rates and accuracy. The platform is heavily optimized for the European market (EMEA), offering extensive coverage and rigorous compliance measures, including scrubbing mobile data against international Do-Not-Call (DNC) registries across the UK, US, and multiple EU member states. By integrating directly into CRM workflows like Salesforce and providing a browser extension for on-the-go prospecting, Cognism streamlines the lead generation process while maintaining strict adherence to GDPR and CCPA regulations.
