Information Governance

With increasing regulatory scrutiny and heightened public awareness around data protection, privacy compliance has become a critical responsibility for organizations operating in Hong Kong. This presentation offers in-house legal teams a practical and strategic overview of key privacy issues, including compliance with the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (PDPO), developments in global privacy regulations, and emerging risks in data governance.

In addition to covering legal and regulatory frameworks, the session will emphasize the vital role of in-house counsel in promoting a culture of privacy within their organizations. This includes the need to develop and implement effective staff training programs that ensure employees understand their responsibilities when handling personal data.
Participants will explore recent enforcement actions by the Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data (PCPD), cross-border data transfer risks, and the impact of emerging technologies such as AI and biometric systems.

The presentation will provide actionable guidance on policy development, breach response, employee awareness, and ongoing compliance management—equipping legal teams to proactively safeguard their organization's reputation and regulatory standing.

With our clients increasingly integrating AI technologies into their business operations, we play a critical role in ensuring responsible, compliant, and ethical use. This program provides a comprehensive overview of information governance principles as they apply to corporate use of AI. It explores the legal risks, regulatory requirements, data management practices, and ethical challenges associated with AI systems. We will discuss emerging laws and standards governing AI, including data privacy, intellectual property, algorithmic accountability, and bias mitigation as well as the keys to building a robust governance program to ensure transparency, accountability, and compliance with applicable laws.

You have just been given ownership of your company’s records management or broader information governance program with a clear mandate: bring it up to date to be in compliance, and while you are at it modernize it to effectively manage electronic information. But where should you begin? How do you distinguish between essential record program components and those that are merely “nice to have?” Which internal groups should you collaborate with, and how do you estimate timelines and budgets, especially in an environment of limited resources?

Developing your organization's records retention policy and schedule may have seemed challenging, but that's only the beginning. The real work begins now: implementing and enforcing these guidelines across your organization (particularly with the surge of electronic records) including documents, emails and structured data.

Organizations often struggle with records overload, raising important questions: How can automation ease the burden on employees while ensuring compliance? Once policies, procedures, and technology are established, how do we successfully engage business units and individual employees to abandon document-hoarding behaviors? And critically, how can we maintain consistency and compliance across the enterprise—especially when resources are limited?

Join us as we explore:

• The five-second rule – Why the entire process for employees classifying emails and files can’t take longer than five seconds.
• Automating implementation using technology you already own – Nearly all of implementation – including the five-second rule – can be accomplished without buying any new technology.
• What does rollout look like? – From configuration to pilots to rollout to training, the practical, steps to implement your schedule across the organization.
• Getting IT and other stakeholders to own their part of the implementation – The art of partnering with IT and other groups to support and co-own these initiatives. 
• Playing well with others – Avoiding conflicts with eDiscovery, privacy and AI initiatives.
• Ensuring compliance and defensibility – Ensuring imperfect processes can withstand legal and regulatory scrutiny.
• Engaging business units – Happily, not begrudgingly – How to change the perception of implementing a records program as a “win” for business units and employees.

With the right approach, executing your records policy and schedule and only doable, it brings new value to the organization.  Join us for a lively discussion.
