  2. Gonzalo Caro, CDPO, CIPP/E Dublin-based Data Protection Manager.

  4. GDPR scenario setting • EU Regulation took effect on May 25th, 2018 • Comprehensive regulation with several impacts • Expand rights for data subjects • Imposes obligations to data controllers and processors • Up to 4% annual global turnover fines • Global territorial scope This Photo by Unknown Author is licensed under CC BY-NC-ND

  5. May 25, 2018 The End of the Beginning

  6. The journey so far • GDPR is not Y2K • May 25 was only the start • Awareness has increased • Rights are being exercised – volumes are up! • Still wait-and-see mode for many • A lot more coming… This Photo by Unknown Author is licensed under CC BY

  7. Q&A - PART I

  8. What have we learned so far?

  9. DSRs are real! • Data Subject Requests (DSRs) have increased as reported by companies • Individuals are taking DSRs seriously and exercising their rights e.g. millions of accounts are being deleted or access requests submitted • Self-manage privacy dashboards are common in the industry but might present some backend challenges if no robust foundation is in place Source: https://blogs.microsoft.com/uploads/prod/sites/5/2018/09/MS_Privacy-Dash-by-Country-Map_Blue_AK.jpg

  10. A robust foundation is critical • Comprehensive data strategy preceded by in-depth assessment and preparedness • The complexity of the ecosystem will determine the model to follow • What data do you have? • Where’s that data? • Data taxonomy – what data that I have is considered personal data? • ID types beyond the traditional • Data tagging – identify that data so it is retrievable • Systems inventory – centralized solution. This is a must. You need to know what data you have an where it is at any given time.

  11. Governance and monitoring • A Governance model must be in place regularly reviewing and providing strategic direction as decisions are required – tone-at-the-top! • Continuous monitoring / Audit plans with Key Performance Indicators – some issues need immediate remediation such as breaches • Ensure data synchronization between systems – offline copies may become your worst enemy! • Data Retention Policies are crucial to success! • Policies must reflect the data strategy and be aligned with supporting processes e.g. ‘deleting data’ This Photo by Unknown Author is licensed under CC BY-NC

  12. The 3 amigos • Technical dependencies have increased for DP professionals and further knowledge is required e.g. understanding data lifecycle, taxonomies and tagging • Expertise needed to translate legal requirements into tangible engineering solutions e.g. understanding content moderation technologies such as hash images • Privacy engineering is a growing field • The key tool for professionals is the Privacy review / Privacy Impact Assessment which acts as a Change Management agent e.g. systems upgrades/launches, processes, cookie compliance. DP by design! • Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning!

  13. Your employees are critical! • A solid Change Management process adhered by employees to ensure updated systems & data sets • Your employees might play a critical role identifying and reporting incidents e.g. engagements with customers/developers through AI platforms • Clear policies e.g. offline copies, USBs, email rules • Mandatory training & being part of the data lifecycle • Encourage career development opportunities e.g. engineers migrating to business roles and vice versa

  14. A lot more is coming! • Enforcement!!! • ePrivacy directive • Awareness will continue – more DSRs? • Unpredictable events • AI & ML • Other countries follow suit • And more… This Photo by Unknown Author is licensed under CC BY
