In an interview with Insights success, Roy Smith, the CEO of PrivacyCheq shares his valuable insights on developing world-class technology solutions for privacy and legal problems created by the explosive growth of connected IoT devices, smartphones and tablets.
Below are highlights of the Interview:
What are the cutting-edge products/solutions offered by PrivacyCheq?
The ConsentCheq service is a “full stack” consent management platform designed for large enterprises. A SME version of the platform called ConsentIQ targets small businesses that also have to comply with digital privacy laws.
With the escalating number of technology based solution providers, how is company name driving itself to create an impact on its customers?
Within the RegTech space, we are considered an “old” company because our tech has been deployed since June 2014. Most of the other companies in the space have been formed within the past 2 years and are just beta testing their solutions. The tech behind ConsentCheq is market proven and has been tested to massive scale (over 500 million API hits per day).
What are the challenges faced while providing the unique tech powered solution and how is PrivacyCheq serving to tackle them?
Because of the deep operational changes that the Privacy revolution requires companies to undertake, the market has been flooded with poorly engineered, partial solutions to the “big picture” goal – building privacy into all business operations. These half-baked solutions force the company to expend a lot of effort educating customers on their responsibilities under GDPR and showing how ConsentCheq is a complete solution, not a “band-aid”.
Where does PrivacyCheq see itself in the long run and what are its future goals?
The ConsentCheq platform was designed to be used by a large audience of enterprises as a central portal where users can easily manage their privacy for most or all of the websites and apps that they interact with. For this to happen, we will need to create partnerships with existing pools of tens and hundreds of millions of users. This process is underway and will continue through 2019.
