BOSTON, July 11,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, IANS Research,
a Boston-based cybersecurity
research and advisory firm, launched IANS Privacy Operations, a new
subscription-based offering designed to help Chief Information
Security Officers (CISOs), Privacy, and Compliance teams navigate
the complex and evolving landscape of global privacy regulations.
As privacy concerns become increasingly critical, IANS provides
essential resources to support organizations in assessing,
creating, and implementing effective privacy policies.
Unlike traditional legal guidance, which is often written by
lawyers for lawyers, IANS Privacy Operations focuses on the
operational side of privacy compliance. This ensures that security
and privacy teams can implement necessary actions without
deciphering complex legal language and can focus on what matters
most.
"Privacy is often an increasingly integral part of the CISO's
responsibilities," stated Phil
Gardner, Founder & CEO of IANS Research. "Our goal is to
provide CISOs, Privacy, and Compliance teams with clear, practical
guidance that avoids legal jargon and helps them manage privacy
operations effectively."
CISO ownership of privacy has risen from 35% to
47% over the past five years. Privacy Operations is tailored
to address the growing need for straightforward, actionable
guidance for today's regulatory environment. With over 40 privacy
bills enacted or in progress in the US and over 165 countries
establishing privacy laws, organizations must be prepared to
comprehend and implement these regulations efficiently.
"The landscape of privacy regulations is ever-evolving, making
it extremely challenging for organizations to stay compliant,"
stated Rebecca Herold, IANS Faculty
member and CEO of The Privacy Professor and Privacy & Security
Brainiacs. "IANS Privacy Operations is a valuable resource that
simplifies and helps to ensure comprehensive processes and
associated activities, enabling security and privacy teams to keep
up with regulatory changes without being overwhelmed or omitting
required compliance components."
IANS Privacy Operations features a comprehensive suite of tools
and resources, including:
- Operational Privacy Framework: Baseline privacy
requirements and enhanced privacy best practices help identify key
gaps in overall privacy programs.
- Privacy Toolkit: Tools and templates designed to
expedite privacy tasks, including Data Inventory templates and
Privacy Impact Assessment tools.
- Bi-Monthly Privacy Briefings: Faculty-led sessions
on current and upcoming privacy topics to stay up-to-date on the
shifting regulatory landscape.
- Regulation Cheat Sheets: A database of privacy
regulations with actionable insights for InfoSec teams, including a
to-do list for implementation.
- Privacy Communication Slides: Ready-to-use slides
and metrics to effectively communicate privacy stakes to the board,
management, and key stakeholders.
