Singapore — July 18, 2016 — AvePoint, the Microsoft Cloud expert, announced today that Dana Simberkoff, AvePoint Chief Compliance and Risk Officer, will join Bojana Bellamy, President of the Center for Information Policy Leadership (CIPL), and Bruno Gencarelli, Head of the Data Protection Unit for the European Commission, to lead the session “Global Impact and Benchmarking Global Organisations’ Readiness for the GDPR” at 2:45-3:30 p.m. SGT on Tuesday, July 19, during the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP) Asia Privacy Forum 2016.

Compliance and Data Protection:AvePoint Compliance Guardian helps mitigate risk from the moment data is created through its entire lifecycle by proactively monitoring and neutralising violations of privacy, security, and compliance. The platform now provides enhanced support for risk-based data protection under the European Union GDPR – including GDPR Test Suites and action policies to allow customers to discover, map, and create an inventory for all GDPR regulated Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and sensitive PII. Compliance Guardian also provides ability to tag, classify, and protect data with full support for pseudonymisation, anonymisation, and encryption.

Cloud:Compliance Guardian Online, part of AvePoint Online Services – used by 5 million Office 365 users worldwide – allows organisations to minimise risk of privacy violations and information security breaches as well as mitigate accessibility and site quality issues for websites, web applications, and SharePoint Online sites without adding additional infrastructure.

File Analysis:AvePoint File Analysis Services, an integrated component of AvePoint Compliance Guardian, identifies which files reside where and who has access to them – reducing the risk of privacy or sensitive information breaches by increasing visibility into an organisation’s unstructured data. By discovering, mapping, and classifying the unstructured data – especially within file shares – organisations can make more informed decisions regarding which data to keep and remove.

Governance:DocAve Governance Automation allows organisation to provide end users with a business-centric, role-based service catalogue for provisioning, restructuring, or migrating content across cloud-hosted, hybrid, or on-premises SharePoint deployments.

Privacy: The AvePoint Privacy Impact Assessment (APIA) solution – a free tool exclusively distributed by the IAPP – 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.
