Read MoreA Final Burst of Antitrust Guidance
The Justice Department and Federal Trade Commission have published new guidelines on how prosecutors will evaluate companies’ employment agreements, information-sharing arrangements, and other practices that might violate antitrust law, even as the Biden Administration glides out the door. The two agencies released the guidelines (a slim 13 pages long) on Thursday. The guidelines review the…
Read MoreTwo Companies, Two Cyber Enforcement Actions
These may be the final days of the Biden Administration, but enforcement in cybersecurity still marches onward: two different regulators just sanctioned two different companies for two different types of cybersecurity failure. Let’s take a look. First is GoDaddy.com, one of the largest web hosting businesses in the world. The Federal Trade Commission spanked GoDaddy…

Read MoreRebutting Resistance to Compliance Investments
Earlier this week I visited one of the larger compliance vendors in the market to talk with their sales staff about the pressures compliance officers face. Our discussion quickly centered on two questions. First, why do some companies decide not to invest in compliance capabilities? And second, what are some possible arguments that might change…
Read MoreOh Good Lord, Vendors
Compliance vendors, we need to talk. I can appreciate that selling compliance software is a challenging job, and sales reps need to be creative when trying to reach their compliance officers targets — but do we really need to be clogging companies’ whistleblower programs with product pitches? That, apparently, is the complaint of the week…
