Data Security
Data protection law requires that personal
information must be held and used securely. Recent
headlines have shown that organisations are not doing
enough to ensure the security of people’s personal
data. It is not always obvious what
measures should be taken by organisations to comply with
the legal obligations.
This session examines the law as it relates to data
security, and the practical steps that organisations need
to take to ensure compliance with their obligations.
It concentrates on how to avoid data security breaches,
but also looks at what can be done to mitigate the effects of any
breach that does occur. The session considers the
practical implications of the recommendations of various
government and other reports on the security of
data.
Key aspects of this session include:
- analysis of the legal requirements for keeping
the personal information secure
- the Data Protection Commissioner’s
recommendations and latest
guidance
- the data security implications of using 3rd
parties to process personal information, such as external
contractors and outsourced service providers
- examination of the powers of the Data Protection
Commissioner and other legal and commercial consequences of data security breaches
- managing a data security breach - law and best
practice
- laptop and portable media encryption - when it
is required
- informing individuals and notifying the
Commissioner about data security breaches - what is
required and how to go about it
- confinement strategies to prevent further
dissemination of lost or stolen data
Delegates will learn about the practical steps that
can be taken in their organisation to avoid the adverse
consequences that can arise from data security
incidents.
