BOSTON, July 11, 2024 ~ Boston-based cybersecurity research and advisory firm, IANS Research, has announced the launch of their new subscription-based offering, IANS Privacy Operations. This service is specifically designed to assist Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs), Privacy, and Compliance teams in navigating the complex and ever-changing landscape of global privacy regulations.

As privacy concerns continue to grow in importance, IANS aims to provide essential resources to support organizations in assessing, creating, and implementing effective privacy policies. Unlike traditional legal guidance that 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 having to decipher complex legal language and can instead focus on what matters most.

According to Phil Gardner, Founder & CEO of IANS Research, "Privacy is often an increasingly integral part of the CISO's responsibilities." He further explains that their goal is to provide CISOs, Privacy, and Compliance teams with clear and practical guidance that avoids legal jargon and helps them effectively manage privacy operations.

In recent years, there has been a significant increase in CISO ownership of privacy responsibilities from 35% to 47%. In response to this trend, IANS Privacy Operations is tailored to address the growing need for straightforward and actionable guidance in today's regulatory environment. With over 40 privacy bills enacted or in progress in the US alone and over 165 countries establishing privacy laws globally, organizations must be prepared to comprehend and implement these regulations efficiently.

Rebecca Herold, an IANS Faculty member and CEO of The Privacy Professor and Privacy & Security Brainiacs states that "the landscape of privacy regulations is ever-evolving," making it extremely challenging for organizations to stay compliant. She believes that IANS Privacy Operations will be a valuable resource for simplifying processes and ensuring comprehensive compliance with regulatory changes without being overwhelmed or omitting required components.

IANS Privacy Operations offers a comprehensive suite of tools and resources, including an Operational Privacy Framework that outlines baseline requirements and enhanced best practices to identify key gaps in overall privacy programs. The service also includes a Privacy Toolkit with templates and tools to expedite privacy tasks, bi-monthly Privacy Briefings led by experienced faculty members on current and upcoming privacy topics, Regulation Cheat Sheets with actionable insights for InfoSec teams, and ready-to-use Privacy Communication Slides for effectively communicating privacy stakes to key stakeholders.
