Miriam Wugmeister spoke to Ethisphere about data privacy laws in the wake of recent Supreme Court decisions and ongoing cybersecurity trends, discussing what she sees coming and how to prepare for it.
“From a privacy perspective—by that I mean what personal information you collect, the purposes for which you use it, and how you share it—the major opportunity for organizations is to think globally,” Miriam said. “We have 150 countries that have privacy laws of some kind. In the U.S., we have five states with omnibus privacy laws and we’re going to have more, as well as Federal laws, so it’s really easy to lose the forest for the trees.”
She added: “The good news is that just as about every single privacy law is based on the same core set of privacy principles: notice, choice, access and correction, supervision of service providers, data security. The way organizations often find a way to deal with this is to base a privacy compliance program on those core privacy principles. Focus on the forest, not the trees.”
