2019 Large Facilities Workshop

The Rise of Privacy: A Risk-based Approach to Privacy Oversight, Compliance & Management for Research Facilities (Room Auditorium)

A great deal of confusion is swirling around about the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). With GDPR enforcement in full force and CCPA coming soon, many research institutions, universities, and government contractors are struggling with compliance. This discussion will focus on how to evaluate privacy risks and build sustainable privacy programs using real world examples. Specifically participants will: (1) Gain an understanding of the regulation and its impact on research; (2) Learn to quantify the risk to an institution with multiple privacy and compliance requirements; (3) Better understand data subject rights and how they apply in a complex environment; and (4) Understand the need and role of a Data Privacy Officer (DPO) programs using real world examples. Participants will benefit from a basic level understanding of the GDPR.
