🇺🇸 IAPP DPI France – Codes of Conduct — GDPR’s Prodigal Son Finally Arriving?

Codes of conduct overseen by accredited monitoring bodies are one of the breakthrough innovations introduced by EU General Data Protection Regulation. As part of its accountability framework, GDPR not only shifted the onus of demonstrative compliance, but also created the possibility for stakeholders to engage in co-regulatory practices. The goal was to allow the industry to support regulatory implementation by developing workable guidance to concretize the GDPR’s provisions. More flexible than other previously adopted compliance tools, CoCs generated high expectations, particularly in the wake of Schrems II, as a possible solution to address international data transfers and enable legal foreseeability. CoCs have not yet reached their full potential, with only a handful of national CoCs deployed and even less at the pan-European level. However, as the cloud ecosystem leads the way, this panel will explore the background of this sectoral success while highlighting CoC’s benefits, as well as their limitations.

What you will learn:

• How to understand the relevancy of CoCs in a post-GDPR, post-Schrems II era.

• What CoCs can bring to an ecosystem, as well as what they should not be pursued for.

• The future of international data transfers amid emerging data protection systems at global levels.

Les sujets de discussion incluront :

  • Étudier la manière dont l’analyse des données et la découverte électronique peuvent aider les enquêtes multinationales.
  • Comprendre vos obligations selon la loi Schrems II, le RGPD et d’autres législations.
  • Apprendre les meilleures pratiques pour se conformer à ces obligations lors des enquêtes internes ou externes, de la diligence raisonnable et de la dénonciation des dysfonctionnements.

Most organisations have felt the impact of accelerating their cloud adoption strategies in the past two years. While beneficial to the enterprise in numerous areas, such as faster application development, combined with the ability to experiment and quickly leverage elasticity and resiliency, these benefits have also brought significant new security challenges.

Today, enterprises are grappling with security issues never before faced or addressed. The debate of shared responsibility between provider and customer, data sovereignty, the utopian cloud environment and the constant changing of threat models to name a few.

This session will draw on the recent findings of the 2021 Thales Cloud Security Report to discuss how European enterprises are handling the data security repercussions of an accelerated cloud deployment.

Areas for Discussion

• The widespread use of SaaS within the enterprise

• Cloud complexity with ‘lift & shift’, multicloud, and hybrid

• Encryption in the cloud is not as widespread as enterprises think

• How successful are enterprises in maintaining compliance and avoiding breaches in the cloud

• Who owns responsibility for the security of data in the cloud

GDPR fines have been increasing over the last 18 months, and it is proving to be a complex environment for the regulators and the regulated. But GDPR has not led to seismic changes (the possibility of entirely new operating models, for example), but has had a major effect on the ways organizations collect and use data. This panel will discuss the last few years and look ahead to gauge what we have learned and how things will and should change.

Speakers Include:

Jacob Høedt Larsen, Head of Communications, Wired Relations

‍Andreea Lisievici, Head of Data Protection Compliance, Volvo Car Corporation

🇺🇸 The Future of Work in a Post-COVID-19 Work Environment

October 16th, 2020 | Posted by Claude-Etienne Armingaud in Conference - (0 Comments)

We are currently experiencing an interesting time in our economy around the future of work. In describing the future of work, there are four main aspects that come into play: (i) People will be able to work remotely and with flexible schedules; (ii) New industries and jobs will be created complementary to technology; (iii) There will be more entrepreneurship and self-employment; and (iv) Due to technology advancements, there will be fewer jobs that require humans.

Against this backdrop, the COVID-19 outbreak pointed out that these new working norms are going to become the future. In fact, more and more companies wonder whether people can work effectively and achieve a level of work-life balance in light of these new working conditions. At the same time, there is considerable research showing that diversity can be the answer to these considerations, leading to a significant performance advantage.

As law firms around the world have been forced into an unplanned experiment with remote and flexible working, the webinar will aim to explore what the new COVID-19 reality means for the workforce and how can they embrace the pandemic’s opportunities for learning and thriving in the workplace.
