To deserve the trust of their customers and others, companies that provide or use cloud services must be able to demonstrate that they protect the privacy and security of their customers’ data and show how their practices compare to applicable laws, regulations, standards and best practices. The issue is even more complex at the global level, where layers of laws overlap each other. This program will 1) provide a survey of the U.S. and foreign laws, regulations and standards that govern the space, 2) discuss the role of contracts and due diligence, 3) describe and compare the tools, standards, certifications and programs available to guide companies and the methods available to measure compliance and 4) provide samples and case studies showing how leading companies structure their practice to gain this trust. What you’ll take away: · How laws, standards and guidelines converge toward more specific requirements for privacy and security · How regulators are requiring more transparency and clear and specific commitments to protect customer data · How the protection of privacy and security is an ongoing project that is built one procedure at a time · Insights on reconciling guidance, standards and best practices from around the globe
