In this session, Rocio Baeza will be closing the 3-part series on GLBA. This is valuable information for your GC to have for information security risk management planning for 2025.
In this session, attendees will walk away with:
an analysis of cases where FTC filed a complaint arguing that the organization had misrepresented data handling practices of consumer information
the foundational elements that Legal Counsel needs to have in place to mitigate risk of misrepresentation
how the privacy policy can be the entryway for regulators to argue that the protection and privacy of consumer information is being misrepresented (and in some cases, a UDAAP risk)
In this session, Rocio Baeza will be continuing the 3 part series on GLBA. The discussion will focus on the reporting requirement that financial services needs to satisfy before Dec 31, 2024.
In this session, attendees will:
learn the topics that need to be addressed in the reporting
learn the recommended process for properly filing the reporting
receive a complimentary GLBA compliance reporting template
The complimentary GLBA compliance reporting template is structured to be assembled within a 30 day period. This is a valuable resource for Legal and Compliance teams that want to file the report before the holidays.
