Data Privacy 101: Using Technology to Close the Compliance & Security Gap

May 19 / IT GRC Forum

Data privacy is now one of the most pressing concerns for organizations as cyber-attacks continue rising in frequency and cost. A CNBC study reports that 23.1% of CFOs view cyber-attacks as the number one external threat. With the average data breach costing $3.62 million and affecting more than 24,000 records, companies face mounting pressure to strengthen privacy processes and comply with expanding global regulations like GDPR and CCPA. To stay compliant and protect sensitive information, organizations must take a deliberate, end-to-end approach to how data is collected, processed, and managed across every department.

This webinar explores how technology can help close the GRC gap and support effective data privacy management. Our experts will discuss how to define and maintain strong privacy policies, evaluate internal controls, and demonstrate sustainable risk management practices. Attendees will also learn how to organize omni-channel data, translate privacy legislation into business processes, and incorporate globally recognized frameworks to ensure compliance. Join us to strengthen your organization’s privacy posture with modern, scalable strategies.
