Information governance can seem like trying to boil the ocean. Developing the right strategy and approach is key in finding the best channels by which to assess risk. In this boardroom, uncover answers to your pressing questions, including:
- How to gain visibility into high risk areas?
- What controls should be in place to protect the company’s information assets adequately (and how are you defining adequately)?
- What policies do you have in place, and how should you enforce and measure those policies?
Executive boardrooms are intimate and interactive sessions designed to foster dynamic dialogue around a specific, strategic topic.

Information security leaders navigate an increasingly complex matrix of national and foreign data privacy regulations. GDPR caused organizations to scramble to meet data protection directives and reassess risk management through new compliance reporting requirements and potential exposure to financial penalties. Now California has its own Privacy Act set to come into effect, and it’s one of potentially many different pieces of forthcoming regulation and policy. How can organizations create a unified data protection and compliance strategy that meets conflicting requirements?
In this session, discuss:
- The current landscape of data privacy regulation around the world
- Best practices for managing risk associated with data protection frameworks
- Standards and metrics for measuring data protection risk
- Data classification strategies to aid compliance, regardless of regulation
