The Advisory Council - Data Privacy Compliance Rapid Review Assessment

Data Privacy Compliance Rapid Review Assessment
In today's economic environment, expectations are high that an organization uses data in ways that maximize benefits to their customers and constituents. This data can include order details, purchasing history, demographics, financial accounts, health information, and literally thousands of data items, many of which are considered sensitive. This state of technology has not gone unnoticed by ambitious criminals, who probe organizations for the slightest vulnerability that they can exploit for their gain.

Many states have passed legislation designed to prevent this exploitation of an individual’s private data. Following the path forged by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), private data has expanded to include information that points to any specific financial or demographic item that is not explicitly publicized or granted access permission by the individual.

Regulations define very specifically what you must do to reduce the chance that privacy of these data elements will be compromised. Recently passed laws expect organizations with either a business presence in their states, or those that have customers, employees, contractors or business partners who reside in their respective states, to adhere to these regulations. That means that you may not need to have presence in a state to be subject to its laws.

Our affordable, fixed-price Data Privacy Compliance Rapid Review Assessment can help you assess the status of your current policies, processes and IT standards in supporting these regulations and help you do what is necessary to meet compliance expectations.

Our Experts have developed an effective, comprehensive approach to data privacy compliance which will help organizations craft a program that can be judged favorably using the backdrop of proven practices based on specific risk of the organization, the industry standard and organization size.
