RALEIGH, N.C., Sept. 24, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LandStar, Inc. (OTCPK: LDSR) (“LandStar” or the “Company”), the parent company of Data443™ Risk Mitigation, Inc. (“Data443”), a leading data security and privacy company, announced today that Data443 has secured a strategic partnership with Online Business Systems, a distinguished information technology and business consultancy with nearly 300 business and technical consultants throughout Canada and the United States. As a preferred technology partner to Online, Data443 and its portfolio of next-generation cybersecurity products and services will gain greater visibility across North America and be leveraged to support the risk, security, and privacy needs of the many customers served by Online.
Data443 and Online will begin immediate co-branding efforts with a “fireside chat” webinar entitled “Identity, Compliance & My Mess – Where do I start?” on Oct. 11 at 11am EST. The discussion will focus on compliance and governance issues and feature Online’s Quick Start program for rapid assessment of a company’s existing capabilities in light of today’s compliance and governance requirements. Industry experts from N8 Identity – an identity and access management provider headquartered in Ontario, Canada, and a current Data443 technology partner – will also co-host the webinar.
“Despite the rapid uptick in privacy compliance regulations worldwide such as the EU’s GDPR and the California Consumer Privacy Act, there is still a widespread lack of good data governance and security practices in the enterprise and small- and medium-sized business markets,” said Jason Remillard, CEO of LandStar and founder of Data443. “A proven consultancy like Online can be a true asset in helping companies navigate the path to better data governance and security practices. We are very pleased to be working with them to help their customers gain control over their data assets and be more confident in their compliance response.”
As data privacy regulation becomes more prevalent – whether enacted through law or adopted as an industry standard – the cost to comply will increase. The GDPR alone is estimated to cost over $5 billion in terms of lost productivity, underscoring the urgency many companies now face.
“Given how quickly the market is changing, traditional solutions are no longer enough to stay ahead of the curve,” said Steve Levinson, Vice President, Risk, Security and Privacy at Online. “Data443’s solutions are purpose-built to deliver industry-leading data security and accurate privacy compliance. Our partnership comes at a crucial time in the evolution of data governance and privacy. Working together we will help customers take a strategic, pragmatic, yet swift approach to implement right-sized solutions that will mitigate risk and streamline response.”
To learn more about how to select an aspirational privacy compliance and data governance framework without being overwhelmed, join Data443 and Online with experts from N8 Identity for their “fireside chat” webinar “Identity, Compliance & My Mess – Where do I start?” Oct. 11 at 11:00 a.m. Eastern time. Co-hosts will discuss:
- Online’s Quick Start Risk Assessment for fast analysis of your company’s capabilities in light of today’s compliance and governance requirements
- Mechanisms for comparison and scoring of company capabilities
- Some of the tooling supplied as part of the Quick Start program
- Expectations for strategic and tactical outputs
- Recommended administrative and technical controls for use as stopgap measures
