Privacy: Breaking Down the Silos
In today’s interconnected workplace, personal information flows through every part of an organisation - from HR to marketing to finance. With privacy law reforms looming and regulators intensifying their focus on data breaches and security, organisations must move beyond silos and adopt a coordinated, whole-of-business approach to managing privacy risk.
- Three privacy issues requiring cross team collaboration
- Implementation of new privacy laws
- ‘Data audit’ of existing data held by the business to determine if the business is legally required or permitted to retain
- Business needing to implement solution involving biometric data – facial recognition or fingerprints
- Ways to successfully engage and enable all relevant business areas in such projects and ensure these potentially risky projects aren’t just the responsibility of the legal team using examples from our own in-house experience
