Privacy and Data Protection


Data governance is the operating discipline for managing data and information as a key enterprise asset. This discipline includes organisation, processes and tools for establishing and exercising decisions rights regarding valuation and management of data.

Issues around data protection and privacy are under greater emphasis than ever as ubiquitous internet access reveals critical personal and corporate data to new security threats. New regulations will change the way IT security is approached by IT managers to meet the shifting needs of data privacy. This seminar will follow the latest developments in the legislative and technological environments and provide you with deeper insights into the key aspects of data governance and protection and how you can successfully modify your business practices to enhance data security and privacy.
