Program: Practical Advice to Achieve Compliance
LOCATION: KPMG, 777 Dunsmuir St, Vancouver, BC
V7Y 1K3, K Campus – 4th floor
Synopsis
In a hyper connected world where data insight gives organizations a
competitive edge, the risks of managing and safeguarding that data -
specifically personal data - have increased exponentially. How then,
as business professionals, can we influence the importance of privacy
and security management while at the same time we become enablers of
innovative business models? During this session we will discuss the
importance of a Privacy Management Program that ensures that the
business achieves its goals while at the same time complies with
regulatory and commercial expectations regarding the control and
protection of personal data. From understanding what personal data is
needed to provide superior products and services to assessing the
risks to individuals and the organization to responding to data
breaches if they happen, it is important to adopt a program that will
guide strategic decisions and will help manage risks.
