CHICAGO (Nov. 19, 2019) – Leading advisory, tax and assurance firm Baker Tilly Virchow Krause, LLP (Baker Tilly) announces a partnership with data privacy management software provider CENTRL. Leveraging CENTRL’s Privacy360 integrated privacy program management platform, Baker Tilly will deliver a powerful privacy compliance solution tailored to specific regulatory needs, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), to help clients track and manage privacy compliance, reduce ongoing operational burdens and build a solid foundation for responding to emerging privacy challenges.

“With the rise in privacy regulation and data protection policies evolving across the globe, organizations face more complex compliance, legal, financial, third party, reputational and activism risks,” Baker Tilly Principal – Cybersecurity and Privacy, David Ross said. “Our partnership with CENTRL helps us give our clients greater control and oversight of data privacy regulatory compliance requirements and supports a sound privacy management program that can address current and emerging risks now, for tomorrow.”
