Morning Sessions ( 10.00
– 12.45 ):
A: Developing and Reviewing Data
Protection Policies & Procedures
Workshop led by Gary Comiskey -
Director, Deloitte
Data protection policies are a vital tool for
compliance but they can become long, quickly outdated
and difficult for employees to understand. Using real
examples, this session looks at how to create policies,
the need to keep them simple and the need for regular
review. This Workshop looks at:
- What should the policies and procedures cover?
- Are specific IT policies required?
- Should your organisation have an email usage
policy?
- Why is there a need to review and update
policies?
- How should policies be communicated across the
organisation for most effective data protection
compliance?

B: Data Security: Portable Media -
Managing Laptops, Memory Sticks, CD Roms and Smart

data protection issues when it comes to an
organisation’s marketing activities, as well as putting
in place effective and compliant guidelines for your
organisation, including:
- Managing customer and prospect data compliantly
and effectively
- Respecting customers’ communication preferences

relation to various marketing channels - from direct
mail to social media

corporate entities versus individuals

process
