In this final instalment of an ongoing series on the issues that affect compliance in an ever more complex world Teresa Troester-Falklooks at how organisations can demonstrate compliance using an accountability approach.
Data privacy has long been an issue of public concern, and with changes in online technology, the problem has only deepened. From a legal perspective, a website’s privacy policy essentially functions as an agreement with a site’s users in which the operator seeks consent or agreement from the users to collect and process their personal information. The privacy policy also informs users of the specific type of information the site collects, and how this information will be utilised, processed or shared with third parties.
Recently, we examined some of the challenges that companies face in terms of the evolving privacy and data protection landscape - and how these challenges may require a whole new breed of information security professional. In this second part of the series we unpack the argument for a new role combining Chief Security Officer and Chief Privacy Officer in a rapidly evolving regulatory and threat rich environment. We also chat with Chief Security and Privacy Officer (CSPO) at a Fortune 500 company to get his take on the subject.

The holiday season in 2016 will see many of these large enterprises up their game in terms of protecting customer data. It’s not as if they have much choice, data breaches in the past have reduced public trust in online retailers – but the latest approaches to ensuring data security go some way to restoring that trust.
In this article, we examine the role of International Standards Organization (ISO) standards, and how standards are important for an incident and data breach response plan.
We give some insight into how companies could use a privacy impact assessment (PIA) in conjunction with data mapping practices to understand how data flows through an organisation, making it the perfect tool to document and track new initiatives.
In this second part of a two part series we will be taking a look at how online retailers are taking steps to mitigate against the almost inevitable threat to data from hackers that seems part and parcel of the holiday buying season.
In this first part of a two-part series, we explore some of the issues around government surveillance and the search for that elusive balance between security and privacy.
