Compliance Management: AvePoint Compliance Guardian provides a full Data Loss Prevention (DLP) and Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) platform to mitigate privacy, information security, and compliance risk across information gateways.

Cloud Compliance: Compliance Guardian Online, part of AvePoint Online Services – used by 3 million Microsoft Office 365 users today – ensures web applications, websites, and cloud platforms present content and information securely to minimize risk of privacy violations, malicious threats, or unintended data leakage.

Privacy: AvePoint Privacy Impact Assessment (APIA) – created through a partnership with IAPP and used by more than 2,100 practitioners today – is a technology solution that mitigates the risk inherent with manual privacy impact assessments, helping organisations understand and automate the process of evaluating, assessing, and reporting on the privacy implications of their enterprise IT systems.

Risk: AvePoint Risk Intelligence System (ARIS) allows organisations to address the complete lifecycle of risk across the enterprise. Leveraging the templates and question banks created for APIA, ARIS extends risk identification to provide meaningful action to assessments, including quantifying, lowering, and monitoring instances.

AvePoint Speaking Session at IAPP Asia Privacy Forum 2015

Dana Simberkoff, Chief Compliance and Risk Officer at AvePoint, will join Alfred Wu, National Technology Officer, Microsoft Corporation (Singapore), and Benjamin Gerber, Global Privacy Officer, Standard Chartered Bank, to lead the session “The Challenges of Data Classification” at 11:30-12:30 p.m. SST on Tuesday, May 5, 2015. The presentation will share how to create a framework for managing data assets and implementing data governance, beginning with understanding what data the organisation already has. The session will go in depth on the difficult task of classifying data when privacy is so dependent on context.

“AvePoint is excited to join the Asian privacy community to provide the best practices, knowledge, and tools necessary to ensure data is safe and secure while enabling enterprise collaboration,” said Dana Simberkoff, Chief Compliance and Risk Officer, AvePoint. “Our technology combines the goals of compliance and privacy officers with those of IT workers and the business in order to provide organisations with governance, risk, and compliance management that is both practical and operational.”
