&lt;div&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;New product capabilities enhance Risk Mitigation, Data Mapping and Assessment Integration and Reporting Capabilities.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;AUSTIN, Texas—(&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.businesswire.com/"&gt;BUSINESS WIRE&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;)—Osano, the leading data privacy management provider, today announced advanced capabilities within its platform, including tighter integration of its data mapping and assessment modules and powerful reporting and risk management capabilities.&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;Privacy teams are often under-resourced and overwhelmed by manual work. According to the&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&amp;amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fiapp.org%2Fresources%2Farticle%2Fprivacy-governance-report%2F&amp;amp;esheet=54126299&amp;amp;newsitemid=20240924250545&amp;amp;lan=en-US&amp;amp;anchor=IAPP-EY+Privacy+Governance+Report&amp;amp;index=1&amp;amp;md5=94db741bfc1a24051ca14e3c4b2856c0"&gt;IAPP-EY Privacy Governance Report&lt;/a&gt;, 63% of privacy professionals agree the limited availability of resources within their organization impacts their ability to deliver on privacy goals. These updates, which will launch in early Q4, help data privacy professionals streamline work and reduce complexity.&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;“Today’s privacy professionals struggle with a lack of data visibility, lack of privacy resources, and constantly changing regulations — putting their customers’ data at risk and their company in danger of non-compliance,” said Arlo Gilbert, CEO and co-founder at Osano. “Giving teams the ability to proactively spot risks and work more seamlessly across the platform helps them better address all these challenges to strengthen both the business and consumer trust.”&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;New Features Enable Proactive Risk Mitigation and Change the Game for Data Mapping and Assessments&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;Updates across the Osano platform address these critical challenges privacy teams face, enabling them to move faster, spot risk early, promote collaboration on privacy efforts, and build trust with customers by better protecting their personal data.&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;Osano’s new dashboards enable better visualization that enhances risk mitigation with more actionable information, including risk alerts, task prioritization, and progress tracking. Privacy managers can now address potential threats before they impact customer and business data, ensuring ongoing data protection and improvement.&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;Enhanced data mapping and assessment capabilities enable privacy professionals to more effectively leverage high-value data collection points (“umbrella sources”) to simplify data discovery, minimize integration complexity, and identify shadow IT to mitigate risk. These processes can be hindered by an over-reliance on 1:1 point integrations, which lack visibility into the overall data ecosystem and are cumbersome to set up and maintain.&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;With Osano Data Mapping, privacy professionals can now:&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;ul&gt; 
  &lt;li&gt;Integrate with more “umbrella sources” like SSO applications, CDPs, data lakes, and warehouses—streamlining the mapping process and boosting visibility into all data sources across the business.&lt;/li&gt; 
  &lt;li&gt;Gain clearer insights into data flows across the entire ecosystem, both internally and externally, with lineage discovery.&lt;/li&gt; 
  &lt;li&gt;Save time and improve collaboration by automating assessments, pre-populating them with known data, and allowing respondents to save time and focus on updates to existing information.&lt;/li&gt; 
  &lt;li&gt;More strategically deploy 1:1 integrations in combination with umbrella sources to reduce integration maintenance and data mapping complexity.&lt;/li&gt; 
 &lt;/ul&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;“A big part of our objective at Osano is to make it easier to do the right thing with regards to data privacy,” said Brian Herr, Osano Chief Product Officer. “These product updates deliver on that by further enabling operational efficiency and interoperability within our platform. Privacy teams have more tools to proactively reduce risk and can refocus time saved on high-value work.”&lt;/p&gt;

      <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h2&gt;Host Arlo Gilbert and Global Experts Have Dynamic, Thought-Provoking Conversations About the Imperative Issue of Data Privacy&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Austin, TX – May 14, 2024 – &lt;a href="https://www.osano.com/"&gt;Osano&lt;/a&gt;, the leading data privacy platform, today launches a dynamic new podcast that puts a spotlight on one of the most critical issues both businesses and consumers face in the age of ubiquitous technology: the privacy of personal data. In 2023, &lt;a href="https://kpmg.com/xx/en/home/insights/2023/06/privacy-risk-study-2023.html"&gt;93 percent&lt;/a&gt; of organizations surveyed identified data privacy as a Top 10 organizational risk. ￼&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Hosted by Osano CEO and Founder Arlo Gilbert, “The Privacy Insider Podcast” features timely, engaging conversations with global thought leaders and newsmakers who share their expertise and their compelling personal stories about the critical importance of data privacy.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;“With this podcast, we hope to put a human face on the topic of data privacy,” Gilbert said. “Our goal is to help listeners–whether they are privacy professionals or others curious about the world of data privacy–understand the dynamic global privacy landscape and successfully protect privacy in both business and their personal lives.”&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;The series kicks off with a two-part interview with Katherine Tomko, an Osano board member and the first Head of Privacy Programs at Facebook. Katherine is now a Partner at First Ascent Ventures, where she advises privacy and data protection organizations in the firm’s portfolio.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;“I’m thrilled to have Katharine as our first guest. Her family’s experience with data surveillance behind the Iron Curtain, an inspiration for her life’s work as a privacy champion, reminds us that privacy is a basic human right,” Gilbert said.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;The podcast rounds out Osano’s Privacy Insider offerings. Gilbert is also the author of the recently published book, “&lt;a href="https://www.osano.com/l/the-privacy-insider"&gt;The Privacy Insider: How to Embrace Data Privacy and Join the Next Wave of Trusted Brands&lt;/a&gt;,” an essential guide to navigating the complex, rapidly changing world of data privacy and building a privacy-first business culture. In addition, Osano publishes the weekly &lt;a href="https://www.osano.com/newsletter"&gt;Privacy Insider &lt;/a&gt;newsletter, a digest of current events, updates, and thought leadership in the data privacy world. As a certified B-Corp, Osano is dedicated to enhancing transparency and trust in the digital ecosystem.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Austin, TX – April 4, 2024 – In a world where privacy matters more than ever, Arlo Gilbert’s new book is the essential guide for understanding why data privacy is important, how privacy laws are evolving and how to protect consumer privacy. Published today, “The Privacy Insider: How to Embrace Data Privacy and Join the Next Wave of Trusted Brands” is available in hardcover, paperback and digital formats from your favorite bookseller.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Arlo Gilbert is the CEO and cofounder of Osano, a public benefit corporation and certified B-Corp dedicated to enhancing transparency and trust in the digital ecosystem. A native of Austin, Texas, he has been building software companies for more than 25 years in categories including telecom, payments, procurement and compliance.&lt;/p&gt;  
&lt;blockquote&gt; 
 &lt;p style="font-size: 20px;"&gt;I firmly believe that privacy is a basic human right for all people. That makes data privacy a vitally important issue for our world today because of the way technology touches every facet of our lives. Data privacy can be an intimidating topic, though, because of how complex and fast-moving the data privacy landscape is. I wrote this book to change that and empower people. ‘The Privacy Insider’ is everyone’s guide to understanding what data privacy is, how we got to where we are today, and how to protect it.&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p style="text-align: right;"&gt;- Arlo Gilbert, CEO of Osano&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;/blockquote&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Gilbert’s book is a comprehensive guide for anyone who wants to understand why data privacy is important and how businesses should protect the privacy of consumers. To protect consumer privacy, government regulations are being established and strengthened regionally, nationally and internationally, creating a complex web of rules that is often confusing.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Gilbert added:&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;blockquote&gt; 
 &lt;p style="font-size: 20px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;Privacy regulations may be complicated, but respecting data privacy rights doesn’t have to be. &lt;/span&gt;The world’s most trusted brands will be those companies that can adapt and put reputable privacy practices at the core of their operations. This book provides businesses, privacy professionals and the public with a clear, actionable playbook for doing the right thing to protect privacy and to truly build trust between brands and customers.&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: 18px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;/blockquote&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;In conjunction with publication of this book, Arlo Gilbert is also launching “The Privacy Insider Podcast” where he will be joined by other privacy thought leaders for timely, vital and engaging conversations about data privacy issues. His first guest will be Katharine Tomko, an expert in privacy and data protection who is currently a Partner at First Ascent Ventures and who was previously in a lead privacy-focused role at Facebook.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;em&gt;Osano Empowers Organizations to Dramatically Simplify the Process of &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;Building, Managing, and Scaling Holistic Privacy Programs&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Austin, TX – April 2, 2024 – &lt;a href="https://www.osano.com/"&gt;Osano&lt;/a&gt; has launched a comprehensive data privacy management platform that simplifies and automates global data privacy management, from regulatory compliance to privacy by design. The Osano platform empowers businesses to confidently navigate the complex, quickly evolving data privacy landscape, while enabling privacy professionals to seamlessly uphold and apply privacy standards organization-wide.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Unlike other privacy solutions, Osano’s privacy management platform is purpose-built to help companies navigate the complexities of creating a cross-functional approach to global compliance, risk management, and privacy operations excellence, as they work to uphold the highest data privacy standards. Whether working on a single use case or building a whole program, Osano grows with an organization as its privacy programs mature:&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;ul&gt; 
 &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cookie Consent: &lt;/strong&gt;Achieve compliance without the legwork by automating consent management for data privacy laws in 50+ countries.&lt;/li&gt; 
 &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Unified Consent and Preference Hub:&lt;/strong&gt; Simplify compliance, enhance privacy, and build trust with an intuitive, centralized system for managing consents and preferences across touchpoints.&lt;/li&gt; 
 &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Data Mapping: &lt;/strong&gt;Know your data, inside and out, through automated visualization and classification of data stores, ensuring alignment with your privacy risk strategy.&lt;/li&gt; 
 &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Subject Rights Management: &lt;/strong&gt;Process requests in less time with more confidence by automating subject rights workflows and data discovery.&lt;/li&gt; 
 &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Assessments: &lt;/strong&gt;Simplify and centralize assessments with built-in and custom templates for privacy evaluations.&lt;/li&gt; 
 &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Vendor Privacy Risk Management: &lt;/strong&gt;Transition from insight to action by proactively identifying, tracking, and managing privacy risks.&lt;/li&gt; 
&lt;/ul&gt; 
&lt;blockquote&gt; 
 &lt;p style="font-size: 20px;"&gt;If you have used data privacy platforms in the past and were left frustrated or disappointed, you’re not alone. Too many of those offerings were either loosely connected bundles or complex systems that caused more problems than they solved. Osano’s platform changes all of that. It is a true platform with tightly integrated capabilities that is easy to use and implement, delivering immediate value. And it is built to grow with customers as they grow their data privacy strategy and programs over time.&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p style="text-align: right;"&gt;- Arlo Gilbert, CEO of Osano&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;/blockquote&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;And customers agree.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;blockquote&gt; 
 &lt;p style="font-size: 20px;"&gt;The privacy landscape can be difficult to navigate when it is not your sole job responsibility. While investigating solutions . . . Osano became the obvious choice from an ease of use and automation standpoint. Their post-sales support team is top tier, and I would recommend them to anyone looking to solve this need.&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p style="font-size: 20px; text-align: right;"&gt;- Peter Ostashen, Director of IT at Francisco Partners&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;/blockquote&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;With Osano, businesses can demonstrate compliance with privacy laws confidently, manage user consent in real-time, and leverage valuable insights for targeted marketing and innovation, all while respecting user privacy and enhancing trust.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Osano is demonstrating this platform—including the new Unified Consent and Custom Assessment solutions—at &lt;a href="https://iapp.org/conference/global-privacy-summit/"&gt;IAPP&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt; Global Privacy Summit 2024&lt;/span&gt; on April 3-4 in Washington, D.C.

      <title>Austin Business Journal: Austin privacy tech startup begins buying spree with acquisition of WireWheel</title>

 &lt;a href="https://www.osano.com/pr/austin-business-journal-osano-acquisition-wirewheel" title="" class="hs-featured-image-link"&gt; &lt;img src="https://www.osano.com/hubfs/marketing/assets/blogs/featured/Data%20Privacy%20Platform%20Feature%20Announcement%20%2843%29.png" alt="Osano team in Washington D.C. " class="hs-featured-image" style="width:auto !important; max-width:50%; float:left; margin:0 15px 15px 0;"&gt; &lt;/a&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;The following is an excerpt from the Austin Business Journal article, "&lt;span&gt;Austin privacy tech startup begins buying spree with acquisition of WireWheel" by Brent Wistrom.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
      <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;The following is an excerpt from the Austin Business Journal article, "&lt;span&gt;Austin privacy tech startup begins buying spree with acquisition of WireWheel" by Brent Wistrom.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Back in August, Austin privacy startup Osano had a tough decision to make.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;The early-stage company, which helps businesses manage digital privacy and comply with emerging laws, had three term sheets in hand for its series B fundraise. It also had an offer to sell a majority stake to a private equity firm.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;At the time, startup funding was at one of its lowest points in several years, and for many companies, a clean exit might have looked appealing.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;But Osano passed on the deal, accepted a $25 million investment and kept building.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;"When you're building an early stage company, it's always true that there will be exit opportunities along the way," Osano co-founder and CEO Arlo Gilbert said. "And the job of the CEO and the board is to figure out whether those exit opportunities are better than what we have in the future – or equal or worse. And we just believe so firmly that the data privacy category itself is just in the early innings. It's just getting started... If we sold too early, I think we would spend a lot of time regretting it."&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;The following is an excerpt from IAPP's The Privacy Advisor article, "Osano acquires WireWheel" by Alex LaCasse:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
      <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;The following is an excerpt from IAPP's The Privacy Advisor article, "Osano acquires WireWheel" by Alex LaCasse:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;In the privacy technology vendor marketplace, the last year-plus has been marred by the unavailability of investor funds. Prior years saw venture capital money flow generously to numerous privacy tech startups aiming to streamline prospective customers' compliance efforts.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;One company that is seemingly bucking the current trend is Austin, Texas-based Osano, a data privacy and compliance solutions developer for small and medium-sized businesses. On top of securing USD25 million in&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="https://iapp.org/news/a/texas-based-privacy-management-vendor-raises-usd25-million-launches-mapping-program-maturity-tools/"&gt;Series B funding&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;in August, Osano made another investment wave in the vendor space 5 Dec. by acquiring fellow vendor WireWheel for an undisclosed sum.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Osano co-founder and CEO Arlo Gilbert said the acquisition allows Osano to expand its offerings to cater to large enterprise customers and compete for a larger share of the privacy program management market.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;"As part of the (August) fundraise, one of our big goals is to start moving up market into larger businesses," Gilbert told the IAPP. At the time of the August funding round, Gilbert said the goal with fresh capital was to used to expand several departments and grow its research and development. "Our goal for the next year-and-half-to-two years really is to start marching up market into larger enterprises who have more complex requirements and who also have more complex problems to deal with. So, the acquisition of WireWheel just made a lot of sense for us."&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Osano Makes Strategic Acquisition of Wirewheel, Expanding Enterprise-Grade Capabilities of Industry's Leading Data Privacy Platform</title>
      <link>https://www.osano.com/pr/osano-acquires-wirewheel</link>

 &lt;a href="https://www.osano.com/pr/osano-acquires-wirewheel" title="" class="hs-featured-image-link"&gt; &lt;img src="https://www.osano.com/hubfs/marketing/assets/blogs/featured/Wirewheel%20Acquisition%20Announcement.png" alt="Osano Makes Strategic Acquisition of Wirewheel, Expanding Enterprise-Grade Capabilities of Industry's Leading Data Privacy Platform" class="hs-featured-image" style="width:auto !important; max-width:50%; float:left; margin:0 15px 15px 0;"&gt; &lt;/a&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;em&gt;Acquisition Unleashes Highly-Scalable Assessment Solutions on the Most Intuitively Integrated, User-Friendly Data Privacy Platform&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Austin, TX – December 5, 2023 – &lt;a href="https://www.osano.com/"&gt;Osano&lt;/a&gt;, the leader in data privacy management, has completed the acquisition of WireWheel, an enterprise provider of data privacy solutions. WireWheel’s solutions include its industry-leading privacy assessment tools, built to support data privacy programs at scale with the technical capabilities, customizability and deployment options that enterprise customers require. WireWheel’s capabilities will be fully integrated into the Osano platform.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
      <content:encoded>&lt;h2&gt;&lt;em&gt;Acquisition Unleashes Highly-Scalable Assessment Solutions on the Most Intuitively Integrated, User-Friendly Data Privacy Platform&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Austin, TX – December 5, 2023 – &lt;a href="https://www.osano.com/"&gt;Osano&lt;/a&gt;, the leader in data privacy management, has completed the acquisition of WireWheel, an enterprise provider of data privacy solutions. WireWheel’s solutions include its industry-leading privacy assessment tools, built to support data privacy programs at scale with the technical capabilities, customizability and deployment options that enterprise customers require. WireWheel’s capabilities will be fully integrated into the Osano platform.&lt;/p&gt;  
&lt;p&gt;The acquisition of WireWheel enhances Osano’s platform with enterprise-grade assessment solutions that automate the process of auditing data, identifying privacy risks, prioritizing actions, creating required regulatory documentation, and conducting actionable reporting. WireWheel’s assessment solutions address critical needs such as privacy impact assessments (PIA) and record of processing activity (RoPA) assessments and were &lt;a href="https://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?containerId=US46858221"&gt;recently recognized by IDC as a leader in that category&lt;/a&gt;. These are vitally important capabilities in a rapidly changing regulatory environment characterized by a patchwork of laws that vary greatly from country to country and state to state.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;blockquote&gt; 
 &lt;p style="font-size: 20px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;This acquisition is high-impact for Osano and WireWheel’s customers because the two companies’ solutions complement one another so well. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Adding WireWheel’s technology to our platform delivers major advantages for enterprise customers, who will benefit from the scalability, customizability, customer experience and advanced features that address the needs of deploying data privacy programs at scale. The Osano platform will continue to be the easiest to deploy and use. In an industry where too many platforms have, in reality, many disconnected features that are difficult to deploy and use, our platform truly works.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p style="text-align: right;"&gt;- Arlo Gilbert, CEO of Osano&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;/blockquote&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;The integration of these assessment solutions into the Osano platform will also be valuable for companies pursuing AI initiatives which utilize corporate data models. Companies have to make a significant investment in training AI models with large datasets. However, that data must undergo thorough scrubbing to eliminate private information. Inadvertently including incorrect data requires the destruction of the AI model, leading to a massive investment loss. The capabilities that WireWheel brings to the Osano platform will enable companies to pursue these AI initiatives with confidence.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Osano is actively assessing other potential acquisitions that will expand its platform and its global footprint.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Arlo Gilbert added:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;blockquote&gt; 
 &lt;p style="font-size: 20px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;This is the first in a series of strategic acquisitions that Osano anticipates making to expand our platform and increase our leadership position in the data privacy market. We are rigorously evaluating other potential acquisitions that align with our strategy and enhance the value we deliver to our rapidly growing global customer base.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;/blockquote&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Financial terms of this acquisition are not being disclosed. For more information about the Osano platform, visit: &lt;a href="https://www.osano.com/products"&gt;https://www.osano.com/products&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;About Osano:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Osano makes it simple for companies of every size to build, manage and scale successful data privacy programs that increase trust, stay compliant, and do the right thing. Osano’s tightly integrated platform is the easiest way to access, measure and monitor consent management, data subject rights requests, data assessments, vendor management and more – all in one place.
