FRIDAY 17TH SEPTEMBER | 3:45pm – 5:00pm | |
Organised by: International Association of Privacy Professionals | ||
Proper data governance within organisations collecting and processing personal information is no longer something that should be happening — to survive and thrive in today’s increasingly online world it must be done. There is a legal floor that should be met to avoid costly fines from regulators, and proper data stewardship principles and practices that must be put into place to maintain consumer trust and the avoidance of brand damage through costly data breaches. Given the volume of data most medium to large sized global organisations collect, process and store, and the speed with which that data is managed, effective and efficient human and technological systems must be put into place and regularly updated and maintained. So how can organisations accomplish these challenging tasks? Join our panel of experienced privacy professionals from the Asia-Pacific region and hear them share with you their hard-earned insights and tips on how you can build and maintain a well-functioning privacy program within your organisation. |
