MENLO PARK, Calif.,
Oct. 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/
-- Global consulting firm Protiviti has launched a new privacy
offering in response to the evolving privacy landscape, which has
been exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic. Privacy as a Service
(Protiviti PraaS™), is a managed service privacy offering helping
companies assess their privacy needs, implement effective
compliance measures and respond to new and changing
regulations.
"You cannot have privacy without security – the two go hand in
hand. In the current environment where employees are working
remotely all over the world, it's more important than ever that
businesses have comprehensive policies, controls and assessments in
place and that privacy concerns aren't pushed to the backburner,"
said Curt Dalton, managing director
and global leader of Protiviti's Security and Privacy
practice.
The customized Protiviti PraaS privacy offering is focused
around five main priority areas, allowing companies to focus on
their core operations by automating privacy-related functions and
providing much needed support and expertise when it comes to
managing corporate data and keeping up with changing legislation
across jurisdictions globally:
- Recurring Data Inventory, Classification and Assessments
- Data Subject Rights (DSR) Request Management
- Privacy Platform Management
- Privacy by Design Assessment and Engineering
- Monitoring Privacy Legislation and Program Management
Additionally, recruiting and retaining talent who have the
skills required to react, respond and advise on the complex and
ever-changing privacy landscape continues to pose a substantial
hurdle for organizations, especially mid-sized firms.
"All industries are compelled to enhance their privacy
protections due to increased regulation, from GDPR to the Privacy
Shield, and from rising client expectations for firms to protect
their data. Companies, especially small and mid-sized
organizations, are struggling to find the right talent to achieve
and maintain compliance. Protiviti PraaS service was born out of
client demands for a cost-effective, sustainable privacy solution
for businesses that lack the budget and capabilities for a full
in-house privacy team," said Terry
Jost, a Protiviti managing director and leader of the firm's
Managed Security Services. "We can provide end-to-end expertise to
our clients, from preventative measures to ongoing privacy
management and through resolution of obligations."
