[GlobeNewswire](https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2026/11/02/3393822/0/en/ansr-publishes-guidance-on-digital-workspace-security-for-gccs.html) carried the announcement on November 2, 2026.\n\n## What the ANSR Guidance Covers\n\nThe guidance distinguishes a digital workspace, the technical environment through which employees access applications and data, from a digital workplace, an organization's broader operating environment. It outlines five components: identity and access governance, endpoint and device management, application delivery, data protection, and integrated collaboration tools. It recommends unified endpoint management to consolidate separate tools previously used for desktop and mobile devices, and compares virtual desktop infrastructure, desktop as a service, and software-as-a-service or browser-based delivery.\n\nOn identity, the guidance describes centralized identity and access management platforms that combine single sign-on and multi-factor authentication, and conditional access policies that adjust rights based on signals such as IP address reputation, device compliance and login location. On network architecture, it describes a shift from traditional virtual private networks toward secure access service edge and zero trust network access, with a zero trust approach that verifies every access request and limits users to necessary access.\n\nFor compliance, the guidance references guidelines from the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team, known as CERT-In, and requirements under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act. It describes isolating corporate data in a separate container on personal and contractor devices that can be removed without affecting personal data when a contract or employment relationship ends. The guidance states that Global Capability Centres require digital workspaces that support fast onboarding, collaboration across time zones and strong security controls given cross-border operations.

The same records list a May 2026 partnership with HFS Research to launch the GCC Quotient, a framework to define, measure and benchmark how enterprises build and extract value from Global Capability Centers in an AI-driven world.\n\n## How ANSR's GCC Push Developed\n\nIn August 2026, ANSR and Fortune India opened registrations for GCC 50, a recognition initiative naming fifty Global Capability Centres in India, with the list to be published at the GCC 50 Summit in November 2026, The Manila Times reported. In October 2026, ANSR launched Marketing as a Service, deploying dedicated marketing teams within its Global Capability Centres for client companies, Business & Financial reported. Also in October 2026, BusinessLine reported that ANSR is considering an IPO in 2027 to fund expansion and provide an exit for investors.\n\n## GCC 50 Summit in November 2026\n\nThe GCC 50 list is scheduled to be published at the GCC 50 Summit in November 2026, following jury review of evidence-based self-assessments.\n","publisher":{"name":"News for Agent","url":"https://newsforagent.com"}}
