2022 Highlights

Walking the Fine Line of Change

IAPP Data Protection Intensive: UK 2022 was marked by deep discussions on issues pivotal to the post-Brexit U.K. International data transfers and the risks of changing the U.K. GDPR were popular topics, as were operational and governance issues, adtech’s evolution, ransomware attacks, and the global influence of the U.K. Children’s Code.

In his first public speech as ICO commissioner, John Edwards impressed the crowd with a frank, thoughtful, humor-tinged address. He was among a deep lineup of keynote speakers that included behavioural scientist Pragya Agarwal, economist Daniel Susskind, IAPP Chief Knowledge Officer Caitlin Fennessey, and top U.K. data protection attorneys Ruth Boardman, James Snook, and Eduardo Ustaran, inaugural members of the U.K.’s International Data Transfers Expert Council.

Breakout Sessions Focused on Operational Realities
and International Perspective

Ransomware — How to Survive an Attack

This session was a primer on responding of if the worst happens. Experts discussed the evolution of ransomware and the latest trends, particularly amid the increasing use of emerging technologies and new hybrid working environments arising during the COVID-19 pandemic. They offered advice on response coordination, internal and external communications, investigations by law enforcement authorities and regulators, reporting obligations, civil remedies, and the crucial post-incident ‘wash-up’.

Privacy Governance and Accountability: Enough Theory, How Do You Actually Do It?

This was a practical session about the ‘how’ of privacy governance and accountability: implementation, benchmarking, exploring different approaches. Delegates heard what worked and what did not from those who have done it, from startup to multinational.

Understanding and Managing Risk in an Increasingly Risky World

Privacy offices face increased pressure to solve ever-more complex compliance issues faster yet with decreasing budgets. What steps can their companies take to account for preventable and strategic risks, but also risks outside their control? Drawing from change and risk management research, panellists shared lessons learned and strategies to help delegates make the most of their privacy compliance programme.
