GDPR Implementation: Improving Information Technology Practices

What ramifications do GDPR and other privacy standards have on business IT implementations?  How can these standards work for you?

Combining compliance standards with strong security practices can be a recipe for success in developing IT infrastructure to streamline business processes and manage risk.  In the past, most businesses developed ad hoc data collection and analytic practices without an overall strategy to manage the data which has led to significant security, PR, and regulatory backlash.  Implementing new privacy standards provides an opportunity to review the data collected, utilize it efficiently, and improve associated business processes.

This presentation will review GDPR and other regulatory standards, discuss their requirements and real-world impact on business operations and data collection, then delve into making these standards work for the business to build a healthy and secure data management program.  Several case studies will be presented to examine the good and bad of compliance standards implementation.
