Becoming The First Major Player in School Photography & Yearbooks to Achieve SOC 2 Type I Compliance

SOC 2 allows us to offer school partners a new level of assurance that their data is safe, and we are not only meeting state and federal guidelines but leading the industry in safety and security.”
— David Crandall
HENDERSONVILLE, NC, UNITED STATES, June 24, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Nationwide Studios is proud to announce it is the first school photography and yearbook provider in the country to achieve SOC 2 Type I certification—a rigorous, independent audit verifying the company meets high standards for data security, availability, and confidentiality. For schools, this means your partner has formally demonstrated the ability to securely manage sensitive data like student names, photos, contact information, and order details.

“Schools trust us with meaningful moments—and sensitive information,” said Jordan Moore, Chief Privacy Officer at Nationwide Studios. “Achieving SOC 2 shows we take that responsibility seriously and have proven safeguards in place.”

What Is SOC 2?

SOC 2 is a widely recognized data security framework developed by the AICPA. It verifies that companies have strong systems in place to protect customer data through secure access, high availability, and confidential handling. Nationwide Studios’ audit was conducted by KirkpatrickPrice, a nationally respected CPA and cybersecurity firm.

Why This Matters for Schools

• North Carolina now requires SOC 2 certification for education service providers—a standard most have not yet met. Nationwide Studios is one of the only companies already qualified.
• Districts can now list Nationwide Studios as SOC 2 Type I certified in trusted vendor documentation and risk assessments.
• Reduces your legal and reputational risk—a certified provider shows due diligence in protecting student data.
• Reassures families—you can confidently point to your school’s partnership with a certified, secure provider.

“Our work touches the lives of millions of students and families, and that trust is something we take very seriously. SOC 2 compliance allows us to offer school partners a new level of assurance that their data is safe, and we are not only meeting state and federal guidelines but leading the industry in safety and security. We will be announcing even more critical safety initiatives for our school and collegiate partners in the coming months that will forever reshape student safety within schools across the United States,” stated David Crandall, Vice President of Development at Nationwide Studios Inc.

What’s Next?

Nationwide Studios is already pursuing SOC 2 Type II compliance—expected in 2026. While Type I confirms controls are in place, Type II evaluates how effectively those controls work over time.

“It has been a top initiative for our team and the entire company to work so hard to build and provide a framework like SOC 2 that will help lead our company to become the most trusted and safeguarded company within the school traditions industry,” stated David Farrell, Vice President of Information Technology, Nationwide Studios Inc.

What School Leaders Can Do?
• Ask your school vendors if they are SOC 2 certified—or when they plan to be. If they are not meeting state and federal guidelines, then reach out to one of our affiliates for your school tradition needs.
• Update your district’s documentation to reflect this milestone with Nationwide Studios as a SOC 2 certified trusted partner.
• Communicate this to families to demonstrate your school’s commitment to data privacy.

ESOMAR announces major update to the ICC/ESOMAR International Code to reflect AI and emerging technology

New version strengthens ethical standards for the global research and data analytics communityOur goal was to ensure the Code continues to protect individuals, promote transparency, and support the responsible innovation that is essential to our profession.”— Joaquim Bretcha, Director General of ESOMARAMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS, June 25, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- ESOMAR, the global community for data, research, and insights, in collaboration with the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), has announced a significant update to the ICC/ESOMAR International Code on Market, Opinion and Social Research and Data Analytics. The revised 2025 Code reflects transformative changes in the data and research landscape, including the rise of artificial intelligence, the increased use of synthetic data, and the evolving roles of researchers, data scientists, and technology providers.The update, formally adopted at ESOMAR’s Annual General Meeting earlier this month and validated by the ICC Executive Board, marks the most substantial revision to the Code in nearly a decade. Developed by a joint ICC/ESOMAR Code Revision Team, the update draws on extensive consultations with global legal experts, privacy advocates, national associations, and ESOMAR members worldwide. Maintaining trust across multi-country research projects requires clear obligations for all involved, and reinforces the critical role of self-regulation in upholding public confidence and industry integrity.“The revised Code is a response to the complex realities of today’s data environment, where the disintermediation of the value change, and AI and emerging technologies are rapidly reshaping how research is conducted,” said Joaquim Bretcha, Director General of ESOMAR. “Our goal was to ensure the Code continues to protect individuals, promote transparency, and support the responsible innovation that is essential to our profession.”Key updates in the 2025 revision include:- New principles addressing AI and synthetic data: Clear definitions and responsibilities around AI, synthetic data, and synthetic personas, with a new emphasis on transparency and human oversight.- Greater clarity around primary and secondary data use: Revised articles guide practitioners on consent, notification, and legal requirements, especially when using immersive or biometric data collection methods.- Expanded guidance on data protection and subcontracting: The Code addresses the fragmentation of the research process, clarifying the responsibilities of clients, data scientists, technology providers, and subcontractors.- Stronger provisions for inclusivity and fairness: Researchers are required to design research that reflects the populations studied and identify potential sources of bias.- Emphasis on duty of care: A new principle mandates respect for participants and outlines protocols for vulnerable individuals and emergency situations.First established in 1948 and jointly adopted with the ICC since 1977, the ICC/ESOMAR International Code serves as a global framework for ethical self-regulation in research and analytics. It is endorsed by over 60 associations in more than 50 countries and is mandatory for all ESOMAR members.The full updated Code and supporting materials, including a summary of changes, are available at https://esomar.org/code-and-guidelines/icc-esomar-code. Translations will be made available in multiple languages to support global adoption.About ESOMARSince 1947, ESOMAR has been the global hub for research, insights, and analytics.

Polskie przedsiębiorstwa otwarte na transformację w kierunku gospodarki obiegu zamkniętego. Nowa mapa drogowa mogłaby w tym pomóc

Do 2030 roku z gospodarki o obiegu zamkniętym ma pochodzić co czwarty surowiec. Aby przyspieszyć ten proces, w Polsce potrzeba nowej, międzysektorowej Mapy Drogowej dla Gospodarki o Obiegu Zamkniętym – wskazywali eksperci w trakcie Polish Circular Forum. Obecny dokument nie spełnia już swojej roli i wymaga aktualizacji. Na braku jasnych przepisów i systemu wsparcia najbardziej cierpią przede wszystkim małe i średnie przedsiębiorstwa. – Z naszych badań wynika, że tylko 3–3,5 proc. firm z sektora MŚP jest świadomych i przygotowanych do transformacji – ocenia Agnieszka Zdanowicz, wiceprezes Klastra Gospodarki Cyrkularnej i Recyklingu.

Wspólna polityka rolna do deregulacji. Trwają prace nad uproszczeniami dla rolników

Prawie 1,6 mld euro – tyle mają wynieść roczne oszczędności dla rolników po uproszczeniu wspólnej polityki rolnej. Zaproponowany w maju przez Komisję Europejską pakiet zmian zakłada redukcję części obowiązków administracyjnych, które dziś spoczywają na rolnikach ubiegających się o unijne wsparcie. Szczególnie dotyczy to płatności dla drobnych rolników. Jak podkreślają eksperci, wszelkie zmiany, które będą działać na rzecz konkurencyjności unijnego rolnictwa, są wskazane, ale przy uwzględnieniu wysokiego poziomu bezpieczeństwa żywności.

W rosyjskiej niewoli może przebywać kilkadziesiąt tysięcy Ukraińców. Napięta sytuacja geopolityczna sprzyja Rosji

W rosyjskiej niewoli przebywa około 10 tys. obywateli Ukrainy, z czego ponad 8 tys. to żołnierze. Łącznie jednak może ich być nawet kilkukrotnie więcej. ONZ podaje, że ponad 95 proc. ukraińskich jeńców wojennych jest poddawanych torturom. – Pogarszająca się sytuacja międzynarodowego bezpieczeństwa i wzrost wpływów do budżetu Federacji Rosyjskiej ze względu na wzrost cen ropy mogą się negatywnie odbić na planowanych wymianach jeńców – ocenia Michał Dworczyk, wiceprzewodniczący Komisji Bezpieczeństwa i Obrony w Parlamencie Europejskim.
