The evolution of technology and our data-driven economy has created new challenges and risks for businesses and consumers in the area of data privacy and protection. Because the rules vary by jurisdiction and impact both employee and customer data, it is crucial for compliance, governance and risk professionals to understand the applicable requirements and legal consequences while ensuring that the risks associated with data breach incidents are addressed at board level.
Squire Sanders London partner Ann J. LaFrance, and Miami partners Andrew R. Kruppa and Gary Timin will present an interactive workshop designed to help your organization respond to the compliance challenges arising from divergent data protection and privacy requirements and increasing litigation risk in the US, Europe and around the globe.
The workshop will address data privacy and protection issues relevant to all organizations:
Data Breach Preparedness and Response Are your operations as secure as they can be? Are you prepared to deal with the technical, commercial, legal and PR consequences of a serious data breach? What lessons can US companies learn from the Target and Wyndham data breach cases, and where is litigation over data protection breaches leading? What are the implications for insurance coverage for cyber incidents, D&O liability, etc.?
The EU Framework and International Data Transfers How does the EU regulatory framework operate? What are the implications of the “Snowden Revelations” for US multinationals? How can a business keep track of and comply with the growing list of data protection requirements across the EU?
Managing Divergent Rules Legal Systems and Conflicts of Law How can multinational companies efficiently and effectively manage data protection compliance across borders? How can they respond to US investigations and discovery requests involving cross-border issues without running afoul of EU and other non-US data protection and privacy regimes?
Major EU Changes on the Horizon How will proposed new regulatory requirements pending approval in Europe affect US companies? What is the status and when will these new rules take effect?
