Are most organizations thinking about data protection during mergers and acquisitions (M&A)? Have the customers’ data been lawfully collected? Has privacy by design been utilized when developing the product? This session gives a holistic view of data protection aspects needed for successful M&A transactions. Hear our panelists discuss the different stages of a typical transaction, how data or databases serve as a major asset of a transaction and challenges related to the need for data separation or data transfers. Stop ignoring the elephant in the data room and get these questions answered and more before your next major transaction.
