How to Effectively Engage Boards on Privacy
Register by December 13, 2019 - noon
Information privacy is a significant risk for many organizations, and recent laws (GDPR, CCPA) and high-profile news stories and fines have made this a board room concern.
As a newer discipline, many people do not yet know how to communicate effectively on privacy risks and the actions that Boards need to take to be informed and to help organizations take appropriate steps to manage the personal data that they have.
This presentation will provide a framework to prepare for, deliver, and follow-up on privacy related risks and themes with a board level audience and key areas that auditors and other people for whom privacy is not their day-job can provide a useful perspective.
