Overview: 

Since the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into effect in 2018, data protection regimes have proliferated in different jurisdictions across the globe. This increasingly complex, and sometimes conflicting, patchwork of regional and national legislation and regulation creates challenges for firms operating across borders. Managing this complexity centrally and without specialist expertise in those jurisdictions can be particularly challenging. The continued flow of high profile enforcement cases reiterates the importance of effectively interpreting jurisdictional requirements for a firm’s reputation and financial outlook.  

 

This webinar will seek to give participants a download on the current status of data protection regimes in the Asian, European and American regions together with added insights on regulatory priorities and enforcement trends. Participants will also be advised of common blind spots, how to navigate contrasting requirements and pointers regarding upstream developments to be aware of.  

 

The Compliance Institute's CPD Programme is designed specially to support the compliance professional in developing the skills and competences required to perform their role and is also a requirement to maintain your Compliance Institute designation.
