The GDPR was enacted more than 5 years ago, but global companies continue to grapple with privacy laws throughout the world, now with even more cybersecurity laws and regulations set to take effect. Beginning with a panel discussion, this session will compare existing US and EU data privacy laws with China's new Personal Information Protection Law (PIPL) before attendees step in to discuss how data privacy scenarios should be handled under both existing and future laws. The session will integrate insights for crafting a flexible and effective global cybersecurity compliance policy, examine international perspectives on cybersecurity obligations, and identify overlaps in cybersecurity and data privacy.

Delve into cost and risk reduction strategies in the realm of big data with this interactive panel discussion. This session will present hypothetical situations that in-house counsel may face involving large amounts of data – from broad litigation requests and regulatory compliance efforts to intricate privacy dilemmas. Panelists will field potential solutions to these situations from the audience, highlighting successful strategies and potential traps to avoid. The panel will also dive into best practices in the areas of records retention, defensible disposal, and litigation readiness.

Many federal agencies are creating regulations for privacy and cybersecurity, with Notices of Proposed Rulemaking coming out every few months. They do not seem to be coordinated with state efforts and may contradict other agency regulations and law enforcement. This session will review some of these new regulations, highlight contradictions, and explore possible ways to proceed if your organization is subject to contradictory requirements.

Companies are finding out that once developed, data retention policy execution can be difficult and inconsistent. Kaye Cyrus from Health Edge, and Tom Mighell from Contoural, Inc will discuss creating a data retention policy that meets privacy requirements, utilizes AI Governance, does not conflict with other compliance requirements, and are easier to execute. Topics will include: 

• How organizations can create modern and more compliant records retention schedules to better handle both paper and electronic information 
• Strategies to privacy-enable your schedule to avoid conflicts with recordkeeping requirements 
• The role of AI Governance 
• How to get your employees to follow your policy
