Charleston, SC [May 1st, 2025] – SIB, a leading contract compliance and operational efficiency firm, and Captain Compliance, a pioneering data privacy compliance solution provider, announced today a strategic partnership to address the rapidly evolving landscape of data privacy regulations. This collaboration aims to empower businesses with comprehensive solutions to navigate the increasing complexity of compliance requirements and optimize their fixed cost management.

With data privacy laws proliferating across the United States, businesses face unprecedented challenges in safeguarding sensitive information and mitigating legal risks. This partnership combines SIB’s industry expertise and extensive network with Captain Compliance’s cutting-edge technology and deep understanding of data privacy regulations. SIB leverages centuries of combined insights and experience, helping organizations identify, streamline, and enhance operational efficiencies.

“Data privacy regulations, litigation, and requirements are exploding right now. There are now 20 states with either active data privacy laws or ones enacted, and litigation is coming in hot and heavy,” said Richart Ruddie, Founder of Captain Compliance. “This partnership with SIB allows us to further extend our reach and provide businesses with the robust privacy tech tools and support they need to ensure compliance and build trust with their customers.”

The collaboration will focus on offering integrated solutions and providing resources to equip businesses with the software to automate compliance requirements along with the knowledge and resources necessary to navigate the complexities of data privacy compliance effectively. By leveraging their combined expertise, SIB and Captain Compliance will empower businesses to achieve optimized operational management without compromising service quality.

“We are thrilled to partner with Captain Compliance to address the growing and critical need for robust data privacy solutions. In an environment where regulations evolve rapidly and compliance missteps can lead to lawsuits or data breaches, their expertise couldn’t be more timely. After speaking with Rich, it became clear just how overlooked this area is—many websites haven’t updated their privacy practices in years despite shifting federal and state regulations. Captain Compliance brings not only the right technology, but also the leadership and foresight needed to help businesses stay protected,” said Christian Johnson, VP of Channel Partnerships at SIB.

This partnership underscores both companies’ dedication to empowering businesses with the tools and knowledge necessary to navigate the complexities of data privacy compliance.
