In 2015, the European Union (EU) is strengthening its data privacy rules, threatening to fine violators as much as €5M (US$6.8 million) or 5 percent of a company’s annual revenue. While full enforcement is still a year away, now is the time for organizations to start preparing. Speakers will review key elements of what you need to know in the legislation, how they apply to non-European-based companies, what differs from existing privacy requirements and what you must do to prepare. Topics include data residency, data security classification, privacy mapping strategies, assessing key risks, data remediation strategies, often-overlooked repositories that hold privacy information, tactics for implementing the “right to be forgotten” requirement and how to keep your privacy data identified, secure and controlled on an ongoing basis. Start preparing now for these far-reaching new rules.
