About SafeGuard Privacy
SafeGuard Privacy isn’t like other companies. It was built by leading privacy experts to help simplify the privacy challenges faced by data-powered organizations.
We started SafeGuard Privacy because we recognized that existing privacy solutions and frameworks didn’t solve the problems that professionals face in a rapidly changing regulatory environment. With deep backgrounds in the legal, privacy, compliance, and ad tech worlds, we set out to leverage technology to help companies save time and cost while reducing risk with standardized assessments, policy templates, and collaborative tools.
We know your customer data in your vendor’s hands presents an even greater challenge, so we developed a third-party compliance hub to manage your external risks and provide insight into your partners’ compliance.

CCPA Vendor Management: Potential Gaps in Your Privacy Compliance Strategy

The Digital Advertising Sector’s Original Sin, And How We Must Atone
If you’ve been in the digital advertising sphere for a while you know I’m bullish on the internet. As one of the founders of the IAB and early vice chair, I’ve championed the web as the best advertising medium – period. But as I look back on the past 25 years, I’m struck by a harsh reality: We’ve missed the mark.
The Gaping Hole In Marketing Compliance
By now, many brands have spent enormous resources ensuring internal compliance with the GDPR and CCPA. You — or your agencies — have put systems into place to request, track and store consent of the consumers within whom they engage throughout the digital universe. But are you covered? You’re not if any part of your supply chain — from the DSP, data company, ad network or exchange — isn’t fully also compliant.
