Detailed responses from hundreds of security providers paint a clear picture: In a cut-throat environment where recurring revenue and margin growth are at a premium, continuous compliance services represent a massive, and massively lucrative, opportunity — and one going largely unmet due to lack of expertise, resources, and capable tooling.

Recently, China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) rolled out the Implementation Rules for Data Security Risk Assessment in the Industry and Information Technology Sectors (Trial) (referred to as the Rules), effective from June 1, 2024. The document aims to standardize mandatory data security risk assessments concerning key and core data within these sectors. The following is takeaways of the Rules worthy of attention: The terms of reference.MIIT will oversee and guide data security risk assessments, and develop relevant assessment standards. Scope of the assessment. Entities handling key and core data must assess data security risks annually, addressing processing purposes, methods, business scenarios, security measures, and risk impacts as per national laws, industry regulations, and assessment standards. Potential choices of assessors. Assessments can be conducted by the entities themselves or by accredited third-party agencies. Report submission. Entities must mitigate identified risks promptly and submit assessment reports to local industry regulators within 10 working days post-assessment. https://lnkd.in/gpsGebS8

We’re at the beginning of a data security and compliance paradigm shift. The old paradigm is data “safeguarding” (accomplished through access restriction). The new paradigm is compliant release (accomplished through access authorization). ECI export authorizations come in the form of exceptions, exemptions, licenses, and agreements. Due to the prolific nature of ECI within the DIB, a globally distributed supply chain, and the increasing risk of non-compliance (e.g., ITAR Consent Agreements), compliant release of ECI will be the top focus of the new paradigm. The DIB can’t function without it. EVERY bit of technical information within the DIB is ECI and subject to export controls (yes, even EAR99). If the DIB truly wants to address its data challenges, CUI safeguarding is not the solve. The solve is compliant release of ECI. #zt4eci
