Roland Cloutier Named Contributing Author on "The Privacy Leader Compass," a Best-Selling Privacy Title

NEW YORK — 2023 — Law & Forensics LLC announces that Expert Consultant Roland Cloutier served as a Contributing Author on The Privacy Leader Compass: A Comprehensive Business-Oriented Roadmap for Building and Leading Practical Privacy Programs, published by CRC Press (Taylor & Francis, 2023). The book was recognized as a best-selling privacy title from Taylor & Francis.

Authored primarily by Valerie Lyons and Todd Fitzgerald, The Privacy Leader Compass draws on the expertise of more than 60 leading practitioners across cybersecurity, privacy law, and risk management. Cloutier's contribution reflects his 25-plus years of operational experience building global security and privacy programs for some of the world's largest organizations, including ByteDance/TikTok and ADP.

The book provides privacy program leaders with a comprehensive, business-oriented guide for building, leading, and maturing privacy operations in complex organizational environments — encompassing governance frameworks, regulatory compliance, cross-functional collaboration, and culture-building.

The Privacy Leader Compass is Cloutier's second contributing-author credit with co-author Todd Fitzgerald, following CISO COMPASS: Navigating Cybersecurity Leadership Challenges with Insights from Pioneers (CRC Press, 2018). He is also the sole author of Becoming a Global Chief Security Executive Officer: A How-To Guide for Next Generation Security Leaders (Butterworth-Heinemann, 2015), a work that has become required reading for new CISOs in academic and professional development programs globally.

" Privacy is now a board-level concern at every major organization, and the leaders who succeed in this space are those who can bridge operational rigor with strategic vision," said Roland Cloutier. "Contributing to The Privacy Leader Compass was an opportunity to share frameworks that actually work at global scale."

Cloutier also serves on the Board of Directors Cyber Subcommittee for the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association of America and on the Board of the International Consortium of Minority Cybersecurity Professionals (ICMCP).
