    Adopting Effective Data Privacy Controls

    Tom Fox | May 2016

    Cyber-security is taking a new twist this year, as companies begin to assess risks posed by sales and marketing activities that rely on digital channels and social media. The idea that digital marketing channels can create risk is perhaps not news to internal auditors, but experts believe knowing how those risks are created, and what controls should be in place to mitigate them, remains a work in progress. For the compliance officer, however, there are many challenges associated with data management, the main problem being that few compliance officers are involved in high-level discussions around cloud computing and data privacy controls, which can be disastrous for companies as they expand into new locations. This in-depth report takes a closer look at how compliance officers and audit executives are dealing with this new breed of data that can easily spiral out of control and lead to regulatory trouble. | $69.99
