Building a Legal and Business Case for Data Inventory

Learn how to build support within the organization to properly resource and conduct a data inventory that can be the foundation of a defensible privacy and compliance program, today and in the future.

Building a Legal and Business Case for Data Inventory

We all know it needs to be done; yet it seems the hardest thing to get the business to do. This webinar is devoted to developing the legal and business arguments needed to get the organization behind you in getting a data inventory exercise underway, and properly resourcing it. In the event of a data breach, regulatory investigation, or even litigation, do you know if your data management and compliance processes will help you or hurt you? The time for doing this by email and spreadsheets is over; these tools don't scale, and won't meet the needs of a modern, data-driven organization responding to challenges like GDPR, CPRA and a host of new privacy laws. In this session, we will focus on the key legal drivers to understand how data inventory underpins the expectations of these laws and how to build support within the organization to properly resource and conduct a data inventory that can be the foundation of a defensible privacy and compliance program, today and in the future.
