WASHINGTON and PORTLAND, Ore., Dec. 6, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Dentons, the world's largest law firm, and RADAR, a leading provider of incident response management software, announce a strategic alliance to help clients reduce the risks and costs of compliance with data breach laws.

Under the alliance, Dentons and RADAR will help clients navigate increasingly stringent obligations stemming from data privacy and breach notification regulations around the world, including General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), and the unprecedented penalties imposed for non-compliance. The combined capabilities of Dentons' data governance and data security expertise coupled with RADAR's proven technological innovation provide a strategic complement to the challenges clients face.

"Dentons is committed to helping our clients build strong, foundational risk management and compliance programs that provide a springboard to leverage data as a core asset for innovation," said Karl V. Hopkins, Dentons partner and global chief security officer. "RADAR's technology offers Dentons and our clients efficiency, consistency, and automation in managing the incident response process amidst the growing body of regulations guarding the collection, use, and storage of personal information."

RADAR automates the multi-factor incident risk assessment process, efficiently profiles and scores data privacy and security incidents to help assure consistent, timely, and defensible breach notification decisions by the organization's counsel and privacy team, and provides real-time reporting and metrics to support incident response best practices.

"This alliance with Dentons reflects our shared commitment to challenging the status quo and leveraging innovative technology to help organizations simplify compliance with data breach notification laws and reduce the risks inherent in an increasingly complex regulatory landscape," said Mahmood Sher-Jan, CEO of RADAR.
