GDPR and Privacy in 2021, where are we now?

May 26 / IT GRC Forum

As global privacy regulations continue to evolve, 2021 marks a pivotal year for privacy protection legislation. Organizations are navigating the expanding impact of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) while preparing for new laws influenced by its framework. U.S. employers of EU residents face increasing complexity regarding cross-border data transfers, GDPR compliance, remote work policies, COVID-19 contact tracing, and global HR data systems.


This expert panel webinar will provide actionable guidance for streamlining compliance with global data breach notification regulations and operationalizing privacy programs across all maturity levels. Attendees will gain insights on GDPR trends since its inception, the influence of GDPR on emerging regulations, and how to apply risk scoring to determine whether breaches require notification to regulators and affected individuals. Experts will also share strategies for implementing a best-in-class privacy program that addresses every phase of privacy management and discuss how GDPR compliance continues to shape the responsibilities of privacy professionals. Join us to ensure your organization is prepared for evolving regulatory demands while mitigating privacy risk effectively.
