PrivacyRules is an international alliance that integrates legal, tech and data crisis communication solutions for data privacy. Together with its members, PrivacyRules provides these solutions while continuously refining and adjusting to evolving threats and regulations.

This week, the alliance held its Annual conference in Paris, hosted by Ydes, an exclusive French law firm member. The agenda covered discussions on emerging threats in the data privacy landscape, new law and regulations in different jurisdictions, and innovative initiatives and services. Representatives from CSS Assure and Shakespeare Martineau included Charlotte Riley, Caroline Bradshaw, Trevor Fenton and Kim Walker who attended on behalf of the UK.

CSS Assure’s Contributions and NIS2 Compliance support.

CSS Assure is supporting new services offered by the alliance, including:

• 3 Pillars Support, comprising information security risk assessment, incident response, and cyber awareness training;

Key enhancements introduced by NIS2 include:

• New legislation comprising additional entities and sectors;
• Unified service and rules over different jurisdictions;
• Defined process and timelines;
