Session Theme Title: Data Protection and Privacy Transformation Program

Session Overview and Synopsis:

With the implementation of the DPA legislation,this now means that businesses are required to map their data flows, assess the risks in their data processing activities and identify where controls must be implemented.

Innovation therefore now carries a greater risk of sensitive data becoming lost, or even worse, stolen.

With the maximum fine for non-compliance standing at 5 million or 1% of annual turnover, the consequences of making mistakes are too great to be ignored.

Challenges : 

1) Technology to enable information security and other compliance initiatives, will need to be reconsidered, refocused and repurposed.

2)Privacy strategies, resourcing, and organisational controls

3)New Information management activities are required which specifically link to compliance demands.
