Keeping your Data Safe:

Security is not a product ... it's a process
The Data Protection Act & practical issues for compliance professionals

Recent headlines from across the globe say it all. The most recent case concerned three HSBC entities that were fined a combined total of £3m for failing to have adequate systems and controls in place to protect their customers' confidential data.

Financial services regulators will no longer tolerate failure to protect personal data, whether it relates to employees, customers or suppliers. The technical advances that have enabled firms quickly and effectively to collect, analyze and deliver this data around the world have also brought new challenges in terms of protecting data privacy. In the last couple years, many countries and territories have responded to this threat by tightening up their data privacy laws.

What controls should be put into place to reduce the likelihood of failings?

  • The Data Protection Act: What it means, its failings and how it impacts you and your firm
  • US vs. UK Data Protection: Privacy and security debates
