To succeed, it takes all of us working together and being on the same page. Today, privacy and cybersecurity are top of mind for all of us and they must be seamlessly woven into all projects.  Getting it right is considered table-stakes to accomplish our goals, completing projects, and meet our deadlines.  For most professionals, privacy is a foreign language. Whether it’s compliance with all the new US privacy laws (CCPA, CPA, VCDPA, CDPA, UCPA, etc), data subject request/rights or data breach notification obligations, it’s new, changing, and can be confusing.

This presentation will explain the language of privacy.  We’ll start with the data. The more personal data you process, the more you need to learn.  The more sensitive the personal data, the more potential impact on an organization’s reputation.

So, what should an organization do when it needs data to run its operations? It should think differently about how it collects, processes, and stores personal data.  Specifically, Program Managers must learn the language of privacy.  They need to understand the different types of personal data in their systems and recognize the privacy obligations related it to.  They need to know how to navigate the changing legal landscape and when to escalate issues to legal.

We will discuss strategies to use personal data in the most privacy friendly way.  This presentation will explain the different privacy terms and definitions you need to know. We will briefly discuss some of the top compliance obligations. We will describe the different strategies and tactics to help today’s organizations utilize data in a more privacy-preserving way.
