Denver: GDPR Compliance Action Plan

When:  May 22, 2018 from 12:00 to 13:00 (MT)

Description

The European Union data protection standard was introduced many years ago as a directive allowing for interpretation when member states incorporated it into national law, resulting in a variety of privacy laws. With the increased occurrence of cyber attacks and privacy breaches, rapid advances in technology and the skyrocketing amount of data transferred across borders and jurisdictions, it became evident that the existing legislation was outdated and overdue for standardization, consolidation, and update.

The new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) brings a much more focused emphasis on compliance with considerably harsher penalties for non-compliance -- up to four percent of gross revenue. In brief, the GDPR:

  • Applies to any company that works with information relating to EU citizens
  • Widens the definition of personal data
  • Tightens the rules obtaining valid consent to use personal information
  • Makes the appointment of a DPO mandatory for certain organizations
  • Introduces mandatory privacy impact assessments (PIAs)
  • Introduces common data breach notification requirements
  • Introduces the right to be forgotten
  • Expands liability beyond data controllers
  • Requires privacy by design
  • Provides specific suggestions for types of security actions appropriate to the risk

Join us to gain an understanding of key GDPR compliance requirements and the need for a prioritized action plan. Learn what your organization can do before and after the May 25th deadline.
