Data Privacy Law: Risks, Regulations and Compliance

Data Privacy Law: Risks, Regulations and Compliance

The threats have never been greater, and the risks have never been higher. Data privacy and cybersecurity are paramount concerns for every organization, regardless of whether they operate in the private or public sector. As data flows increasingly cross borders and data privacy becomes a critical legal and operational challenge, how can professionals and organizations best manage data according to the law and optimize processes in the context of shifting multinational legal frameworks? 

The Data Privacy Law: Risks, Regulations and Compliance Professional Intensive from Queen’s Law is a two-day program designed for legal and non-legal professionals seeking practical insight into today’s data governance landscape. Led by Dr. Teresa Scassa, a world-renowned expert in law and technology that shapes the discourse on data governance, intellectual property, privacy, and legal issues arising from emerging technologies, this intensive provides participants with a clear understanding of the legislative landscape of privacy and cybersecurity in Canada and internationally, combined with practical examples and best practices that illustrate the growing challenges and opportunities.
