A Glimpse Into the Future of Cross-border Data Regulation

Brian Hengesbaugh, Global Chair Data and Cyber, Baker McKenzie
Lara Liss, Chief Privacy and Data Trust Officer, GE HealthCare
Rusten May, Managing Principal Counsel, McKesson

This panel will brief attendees on the future of cross-border data regulation. Speakers will examine regulatory developments and provide case studies and examples to show the practical effects of the changing rules. Historically, regulations have focused on restricting cross-border transfers of personal data to achieve goals on individual privacy rights. Today, cross-border data regulations are starting to cover a broader array of data, such as personal data, nonpersonal data and other company information, for a diversified range of public policy purposes, e.g. national security, competition, etc. Multilateral treaty frameworks that would limit the ability of countries to impose unfair treatment on global businesses are less effective given the U.S. administration approach and other developments. Companies now face a landscape of divergent outbound data transfer restrictions, data localization requirements, data quality standards, compelled data disclosure obligations and other country-specific legal obligations. Come get the latest and have your questions answered.

What you will learn:
• The landscape of divergent outbound data transfer restrictions, data localization requirements, data quality standards, compelled data disclosure obligations and other country-specific legal obligations.
• Different public policy and geopolitical developments that are driving these regulatory changes.
• Practical insights on how these developments play out in case studies and examples.
