Stewart, CIPP/IT, Privacy Coordinator.

“Data, Data Everywhere: Privacy Perspectives; An Inventory Conundrum and a Compliance Nightmare.”

Morrow and Stewart will explore the pitfalls and available tools to consider when dealing with data and compliance issues including:

• Where is your data and how do you find it?
• How does one begin to comply with the myriad of regulations, from Red Flags, GLBA, PCI-DSS, FACTA, HIPAA to state breach notification laws?
• How do you really account for your data, size it up and place it behind the necessary protections without having tools to accomplish the feat?
• How does one mitigate risk of unauthorized access to data if it is not sorted and properly stored?
• What are the pitfalls if your environment is extra-large, decentralized and distributed?
