New Challenges for Data Protection Officers 2011

Data Protection Officers should play a key role in the strategic management of data assets. In some EU jurisdictions, where it is compulsory to appoint a Data Protection Officer, this role is well developed. But how many EU Data Protection Officers have responsibility and visibility at a senior management level?

This position seems likely to change. EU data protection authorities are encouraging the appointment of Data Protection Officers and the European Commission’s Communication on the Data Protection Directive proposes mandatory Data Protection Officers. Whether mandatory or not, Data Protection Officers will have a key role to play in demonstrating accountability for data protection compliance.

This seminar will examine the changing role of the privacy professional and identify the challenges and opportunities that face data protection officers in the months and years ahead.

With leading Data Protection Officers speaking at this event, delegates will have the opportunity to learn from their experience of handling real life data protection challenges. Delegates will be able to compare and contrast the role of the Data Protection Officer across sectors, and consider the wide-ranging skill sets that successful Data Protection Officers seek to develop.

This half-day seminar is essential for anyone interested in learning about the role of a Data Protection Officer, and for established Data Protection Officers interested in expanding and developing their role.

This seminar is also essential for organisations looking to appoint a data protection officer – our experts will detail the strategic benefits of doing so and outline the potential pitfalls.
