BreachRx and Aleada Consulting Join Forces to Scale Businesses’ Growing Privacy and Data Protection Programs
The joint offering helps CEOs and Legal Counsel mitigate the risk of their
top business threat: privacy and security incidents
UNITED STATES, March 30, 2022 — BreachRx and Aleada Consulting (“Aleada”) are teaming
up to help businesses proactively establish, mature, and scale their privacy and data protection
programs.
The partnership announcement comes on the heels of President Biden’s signing the Cyber
Incident Reporting for Critical Infrastructure Act of 2022 into law, the latest of a growing number
of privacy regulations worldwide. With over 180 privacy regulations across 128 countries, and
more on the way, privacy teams around the globe are scrambling to grow at the pace of
regulatory developments.
The regulatory risk is compounded by customer pressure on businesses to prioritize their
privacy. In fact, nearly half of consumers feel unable to protect their privacy, and a third have
become “privacy actives,” leading them to switch companies or providers over their data
practices. It’s no surprise that CEOs are citing privacy incidents as one of the biggest threats to
the top line. Teams are juggling as many as hundreds of incidents a week, which is costing
them millions of dollars. Consequently, privacy spending is increasing 30% year over year.
As privacy and data protection become a business imperative, privacy and data protection
departments are under pressure to scale to enable the business. However, scaling through
additional headcount and spending is not only cost prohibitive, but also difficult given the limited
number of skilled privacy professionals
The Aleada and BreachRx partnership provides companies with a more efficient solution. The
joint offering augments in-house counsel with best-in-class technology providing on-demand
privacy and data protection intelligence and operational expertise from the industry leaders. It
also includes co-developed playbooks that help businesses prepare for and respond to privacy
events, including new regulations and cyber events.
“Aleada’s partnership with BreachRx will help our market-leading clients get more proactive in
their privacy and data protection posture,” said Kenesa Ahmad. “Today’s top performing privacy
and data protection teams go beyond the legal minimum to enable the business. The BreachRx
platform provides a centralized workspace for these teams to collaborate across functions and
get ahead of ever-changing regulations and contractual obligations.
Anderson Lunsford, BreachRx CEO & Co-Founder remarked, “Our partnership with Aleada
provides our customers with best-in-class expertise for building a high-performance privacy
program that fortifies trust with customers and regulators alike. This additional support will
accelerate customers’ journeys to a more proactive posture.” For the enterprises and high-
growth tech unicorns in the BreachRx customer base, preparing for changes in the privacy
landscape is critical to minimizing regulatory risk.
“Solutions like this one should be foundational for every privacy and security team,” said
Chris Donewald, Director and Managing Counsel of Privacy, Trust and Partnerships at Affirm.
“In-house teams simply cannot scale at the pace of regulation by hiring more humans alone.
Solutions that combine technology with expertise on demand will help privacy and security
teams get ahead of increasing volumes of global regulation.”
