Welcome to Carpe Datum’s weekly newsletter, the Federal Data Prospector (Vol. 3, Issue 47). After several slow weeks for both the volume and the quality of new Data & Analytics federal contracting opportunities (truly the “lifeblood” of our weekly rag!), this week’s issue appears to have officially turned the corner and is chock full o’ compelling opps! Likewise, the highlighted news and media stories for this week’s edition are equally interesting and provide just the right amount of context and background to assist any federal sales and business development efforts. Therefore, do as our name implores … and Seize the Data (Opportunities)!
In other data news, on October 20th, Bloomberg Law published an interesting article entitled, Alt Data Firms Face Heat From SEC, Clients After App Annie Case. In this article, Lydia Beyoud and Andrew Ramonas describe how the SEC’s $10 million settlement with “alternative data” provider App Annie Inc. is charting the agency’s road map for boosting oversight of the growing but largely unregulated big data sector.
- “The SEC, starting in early 2020 has made it a priority to examine how traders use alt data, as some of it could verge on insider information. But the App Annie case reflects the agency’s broadening focus on the sector to include data sellers and their sales claims and disclosures. Heightened regulatory risks could also accelerate alt data sellers' and buyers’ efforts to craft uniform standards on disclosures and usage. The regulation of data and what information gets captured by this data is now clearly on the radar of the SEC,” said Doru Gavril, a partner in Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer LLP’s Disputes, Litigation, and Arbitration practice.”
