Challenges of Auditing a Privacy Program

Challenges of Auditing a Privacy Program

Description

A well-structured privacy program spans the breadth of an enterprise and typically touches on many related capabilities, including third-party and contract management, data governance, legal, human resources, marketing, cybersecurity, website design and maintenance, and others. The most effective privacy programs utilize privacy-by-design principles and imbed tollgates into other key enterprise risk management functions. However, building such programs and getting to a desired maturity level can be a long and challenging process. This presentation will cover typical areas a privacy program should cover, typical challenges in auditing such functions, and the various effectiveness and design testing that can be performed for various maturity organizations.
