Practical steps to privacy

Overview

With the new Privacy Act coming into effect on 1 December, directors as well as audit and risk committees need to ensure they are ready. They should understand the risks their organisation is exposed to, in addition to the steps that can be taken to achieve a “reasonable” level of security as required by Information Privacy Principle 5.

This session will give you a better understanding of the actions that can be taken to reduce your organisation’s exposure, and the questions you should ask of your management team.

This interactive discussion-style event will be capped at 20 attendees only. Whether you are completely new to the topic or have years of relevant experience, you will be encouraged to ask questions and actively contribute your perspective.
