Description: As large companies across key sectors now recognize data privacy and its enabling function, information security, as a critical business function, we observe a need for internal audit professionals to expand the scope of their reviews beyond the existence of “controls” to the quality of “processes” aimed at building and maintaining trust among clients, partners and the market. Unlike the traditional, and largely binary approach to measuring the effectiveness of information security controls, the subject of data privacy forces a different level of abstraction to assess processes that span a continuum of “maybes” based entirely on context. To accomplish this, auditing professionals need a reliable set of principles to assess the effectiveness an organization’s data privacy program: Privacy-by-Design (PbD).
During this presentation, participants will learn the basics of Privacy-by-Design and discover ways to integrate PbD principles into an internal audit program. Auditing professionals will discover ways to leverage PbD to improve data privacy programs and engender trust and confidence among key stakeholders.

Participants will identify the factors that differentiate information security from data privacy. The presenter will offer an enhanced approach toward measuring the effectiveness of data privacy processes, using PbD and prevailing laws and regulations to inform auditors’ analyses.

Takeaways:
  • Understand how Privacy-by-Design principles fit into the business of managing data privacy;
  • Associate PbD principles to prevailing laws and regulations, such as GDPR and CCPA;
  • Use PbD-aligned metrics to help improve the effectiveness of an organization’s data privacy program; and
  • Demonstrate the value of the internal auditing function via an enhanced understanding of the challenges of reviewing business activities with few binary results.
