PLAINSBORO, New Jersey, July 9 /PRNewswire/ --
SAI Global, a leading provider of governance, risk and compliance (GRC)
solutions, has expanded its portfolio of compliance and risk management
services by purchasing the Privacy Knowledgebase (PKB) from Stone
Investments, Inc.
The Privacy Knowledgebase is a Web-based database of privacy and data
protection information designed for privacy, legal and compliance
professionals who must stay abreast of complex, rapidly changing local and
global privacy regulations and legislation. Users can easily search
summaries, abstracts, industry guidelines, documents and other materials, and
link to primary regulations and legislation. Value-added commentary is
researched and edited by privacy experts around the world and conveniently
organized by country. In addition to over 70 detailed country privacy
profiles, the PKB includes industry-specific profiles for the U.S.
"The Privacy Knowledgebase provides one-stop online access to the
worldwide privacy information that privacy compliance professionals must
have," said Andy Wyszkowski, Global Head of Compliance for SAI Global. "The
complex, ever-changing privacy landscape presents real challenges for our
clients who must always stay up-to-date, and we're delighted to provide an on
point solution that addresses this need."
Gary Clayton, a recognized privacy attorney and consultant, has been
retained by SAI Global to provide subject matter expertise in concert with
the Privacy Knowledgebase and engage with clients globally.
This acquisition expands SAI Global's position as a leader in privacy
awareness solutions and training. The PKB joins a wide range of SAI Global
newsfeeds, alerts and databases in such areas as ethics, compliance and
culture, and anti-money laundering. SAI Global also offers GRC management
systems, an extensive library of learning and awareness solutions, and
learning solutions supported by a Learning Management System providing both
