Compliance Week held another of our editorial roundtables last week in Atlanta, this time to talk about every compliance executive’s biggest headache these days: privacy regulation.
Or at least, we started the conversation talking about privacy regulation. First came the usual complaints about the complex, and even contradictory, privacy regimes that various nations can impose on the modern global corporation. “Be very afraid any time you do anything in the European Union,” one person warned; another griped about South Korea. Germany’s notorious works councils were mentioned more than a few times. All par for the course when you let a group of compliance officers uncork about global privacy issues.
