Forrester recently examined data privacy laws across the 15 different jurisdictions that comprise of Asia-Pac senior executives — ranging from chief information security officers (CISOs), governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) professionals, lawyers and consultants. The findings revealed a highly dynamic and confusing environment, with low levels of compliance and uneven cross-border controls.

With the recent evidence of increasingly widespread breaches — from the to — the issue could not be more urgent.
Today-s product enhancements continue Co3-s expansion of its knowledgebase and streamline its Incident Response Management platform. They include:
The Co3 Privacy Module now includes: Australia, China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, New Zealand, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea and Taiwan. As several countries in this region have not yet implemented actual breach notification legislation, Co3 has also included those that have issued guidance for organizations to follow in the event of a breach. Co3 experts monitor and update the product as the legislative landscape continues to evolve.
Co3 now includes an icon that displays the number of notifications that require action on the part of the user.
The Analytics Dashboard now has additional widgets for enhanced functions and configurability, along with a print button, which makes it easy to customize reports for sharing information with various audiences.
“As confidential information flows between devices, regions and governments, organizations continue to struggle with privacy regulations and what constitutes private or protected information,” said John Bruce, CEO at Co3 Systems. “Co3 removes the confusion by encapsulating the clear-cut mandates with proven best practices, making them immediately understandable and available in an actionable Plan — both for preparedness and response. With Asia-Pac now added to the Privacy Module, companies can now confidently operate around the world without the complexity of preparing for, and potentially managing breaches.”
