Privacy Solutions, Inc., a leader in providing legal privacy and data protection consulting services, announced the release of its new product, the Website Risk Analysis™. This Analysis is valuable tool for any business that operates a website which interacts with the public in anyway, including a ‘Contact Us’ email option.
“It is unfortunate that most business owners haven’t come to realize that there is a lot of legal liability lurking on their websites”, said founder and CEO Darity Wesley. She explained that the Federal Trade Commission, Federal Communications Commission and U.S. Department of Justice are surfing the Internet now and fining firms, like Target and many others, that are not in compliance with the vast array of Internet regulations.
Wesley explained that it is critical to know your legal as well as technological responsibilities to consumers and members of your own organization. Knowing what your “vendors” or “service providers” or “website developers” or “hosts” are doing, or not doing, with your content, protecting your intellectual property and displaying the proper disclaimers, Privacy Policies and Terms of Service, are all part of the new Web 2.0 legal minefield.
The Website Risk Analysis™ uses a proprietary 106-point checklist to go through every aspect of a website to evaluate whether if it is compliant with current regulations and what liability risks need to be addressed and remedied. After conducting a thorough analysis, a detailed report of their findings and recommendations is provided. From there, you can determine what needs to happen to assure you are protected, from both an asset protection and liability prevention perspective. Many of the fixes offered in the report are easy enough for you to implement right away. Test yourself. Take the quiz at www.ThePrivacyQuiz.com.
