BUSINESS CHALLENGE:

You’re responsible for creating a culture of ethics and compliance in your organization. It’s challenging to interpret laws and manage legal issues in a constantly changing and increasingly complex regulatory environment. What’s more, with increasing privacy concerns you need to consider questions like: do your clients trust you with their personal data? Do you have the right program, people and processes in place to make sure all data, especially if it’s personal, is protected and handled in the right way?

HOW THIS AFFECTS YOU:

You risk losing current or potential clients by not having the right privacy program to protect personal data.
You may incur fines for non-compliance with increasingly strict privacy regulations, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).
You risk unnecessarily exposing personal data to be breached if it’s not managed properly.

WHAT IF YOU COULD:

Benchmark your privacy program against your peers and understand where gaps exist?
Receive tailored guidance on how to prioritize addressing your most pressing challenges?
Work with privacy specialists who can help you build a stronger privacy program customized to your organization?
Identify where personal and sensitive data is located throughout your organization so it can be classified to your retention schedule and properly managed throughout its lifecycle?
