In today’s new era of ESG - Environmental, Social, Governance - we are seeing even more focus put on the principles of privacy under the S in ESG, the social aspect. Privacy of personal information is a social right and needs to be protected as part of the integrity and values of an organization.

Privacy is much more than data protection/security. Privacy is about the integrity and accuracy of data, the right of individuals to control and have access to their personal data, its appropriate and approved use, and data protection. This gets quite complicated in today’s environment of the extended enterprise in managing privacy risk and compliance across third-party relationships that are part of the organizations processes.

In the next episode of GRC Red Flag Series on 19 August, we will explore privacy in the context of:

• What organizations should expect from current and pending privacy regulations
• The role of privacy in an organizations ESG program
• Extended Enterprise: How to manage privacy across distributed third-party relationships
• Best Practices to manage privacy to be efficient, effective, and agile
