RedPoint Privacy Advisors Announces Launch With New Approach As A Virtual Privacy Advisor
Business Team offers virtual Chief Privacy Officer and other programs to help companies protect their data.
- (1888PressRelease) May 19, 2011 - RedPoint Privacy Advisors today announced its launch to work with companies on a local, regional and national basis. The firm is designed to help companies protect their sensitive data and other information by providing businesses with a trained and certified Chief Privacy Officer on a virtual basis, at a fraction of the cost of a full-time, in-house officer.
The firm utilizes a team approach to data protection and security offering the combined perspective of Certified Information Privacy Professionals, forensic investigators, lawyers, MBAs, Certified Public Accountants, and a host of other experiences coordinated together to find and analyze privacy and data security issues in an organization.
RedPoint Privacy Advisors is run and operated by Anthony Martin, JD, CIPP, an attorney and former partner with Husch Blackwell LLP, one of the largest law firms in the country. "Our approach is different in that there is more to data protection than additional purchase and layers of IT/technical safeguards. We really are a strategic communication company with an acute focus on helping organizations and their clients better understand their information handling procedures."
A comprehensive policy should incorporate physical, administrative, and technical safeguards from across all functions and departments of an organization," Martin said. "And supplemented by training and education programs from experts in the field."
Martin, who also teaches the Information Privacy Law courses at St. Louis University Law School noted that "To truly protect sensitive information and meet compliance obligations, businesses need to integrate and apply input from all departments, whether Human Resources, IT, Legal, Marketing…they all need to communicate to work together. Our RedPoint Privacy Advisors use our combined expertise and experience from many different disciplines to engage the entire organization in data protection."
Martin said this includes utilizing proven experts with credentials and education such as Certified Information Privacy Professional (CIPP), Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSO), Certified Information Technology Professional (CITP), Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA), Certified Internal Auditor (CIA), Qualified Security Assessor (QSA), Certified Public Accountant (CPA), GIAC Certified Penetration Tester (GPEN), and more.
In addition to its virtual CPO offering, RedPoint also provides Written Information Security Programs, Risk Assessments, Data Breach Incident Response Plans, and Defense Assessments with Penetration Testing, Ethical Hacking, and Social Engineering.
