PwC U.S. this week announced that it has acquired the assets of Minnesota Privacy Consultants, including the company's privacy professionals and network.
MPC helps multinational corporations, government agencies, universities, and nonprofits find, classify, control, and systematically retire sensitive data. Founded in 2006, MPC specializes in privacy compliance, including healthcare and cloud computing.
With the closing of the deal, MPC's founder and president, Jay Cline, his entire complement of data protection and privacy professionals, as well as the tools and methodologies of the company's Twin Cities Privacy Network, will become part of PwC's Risk Assurance practice.
The acquisition of MPC brings to PwC a team of experienced risk assessment consultants specializing in privacy compliance, including healthcare, cloud computing, and European-privacy protection compliance. The Twin Cities Privacy Network, a large regional network of privacy professionals, is comprised of corporate leaders and practitioners from legal, compliance, audit, IT, information security, and other departments charged with the task of protecting their organizations' personally identifiable information.
Financial terms of the transaction will not be disclosed.
