TrustArc had the pleasure of sponsoring, speaking and exhibiting at IAPP Privacy.Security.Risk 2019 in Las Vegas last week. With over 2,000 attendees, 225 speakers and 30 exhibitors, the conference was bustling with privacy professionals from all over the world.
TrustArc co-hosted a welcome reception with RadarFirst on Monday evening to officially kick off the conference. Privacy professionals packed into the speakeasy-inspired Barbershop lounge to network and catch up over swanky cocktails.
On Monday evening, TrustArc SVP of Product Michael Lin stepped on to the Little Big Stage to discuss how businesses use the TrustArc Platform to automate and manage global privacy compliance for regulations such as GDPR, CCPA, LGPD and many others. Michael spoke on the evolution of privacy and the value of using technology to simplify privacy compliance as the privacy ecosystem becomes more complex.
On Tuesday afternoon, TrustArc SVP Privacy Intelligence and General Counsel Hilary Wandall spoke on “Demystifying the Role of Automated Intelligence in Privacy Management.” In her interactive session, Hilary explored how the privacy industry can leverage the benefits of artificial intelligence and machine learning to drive efficiencies in privacy program management.
In the exhibit hall, TrustArc privacy experts were busy discussing privacy compliance challenges with attendees at the dynamic TrustArc booth. Attendees participated in live demos and learned how TrustArc simplifies compliance through privacy-tech solutions.
Overall the conference was a great opportunity for privacy-minded professionals to learn, network and share ideas on current and upcoming privacy challenges. We look forward to partnering with the IAPP at upcoming events. Come say hello if you will be attending the IAPP ANZ Summit in Sydney, IAPP CCPA Comprehensive Live in New York or IAPP Europe Data Protection Congress in Brussels.

TrustArc Privacy Insight Series Webinar
Leveraging the Power of Automated Intelligence for Privacy Management
September 26 @ 9AM PT / 12PM ET / 4PM GMT
Online Webinar
With the increasing prevalence of privacy technology, how can the privacy industry leverage the benefits of artificial intelligence and machine learning to drive efficiencies in privacy program management? Many papers have been written on managing the potential privacy issues of automated decision-making, but far fewer on how the profession can utilize the benefits of technology to automate and simplify privacy program management.
Privacy tools are starting to leverage technology to incorporate powerful algorithms to automate repetitive, time-consuming tasks. Automation can generate significant cost and time savings, increase quality, and free up the privacy office’s limited resources to focus on more substantive and strategic work. This session will bring together expert panelists who can share examples of leveraging intelligence within a wide variety of privacy management functions.
Key takeaways from this webinar:
- Understand the difference between artificial Intelligence, machine learning, intelligent systems and algorithms
- Hear examples of the benefits of using intelligence to manage privacy compliance
- Understand how to incorporate intelligence into your internal program and/or client programs to improve efficiencies

What New US State Privacy Laws Mean for your Business
June 11 @ 9AM PT | 12PM ET | 5PM GMT
Online Webinar
While the focus over the past two years has been around global privacy regulations such as the EU GDPR regulation, individual US states have been proposing — and enacting — a number of privacy-impacting laws that may affect your company in new and challenging ways. From the comprehensive California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) to the revisions in data breach laws in Colorado, Oregon and Vermont, it can be difficult to track these changes, and even more difficult to build a compliance program with the flexibility to adapt to the constantly changing environment.
This webinar will provide:
- An overview of major new US state privacy laws and important pending legislation
- An update on the discussions and atmospherics around a comprehensive US privacy law
- Recommendations on incorporating US state privacy law compliance into a global privacy risk management program

Wolters Kluwer and Fenwick & West Present: CCPA Workshop and Ask an Expert Special Session
Mountain View
June 13
While there has been a lot of discussion at the California Department of Justice-sponsored workshops on the nuances of the forthcoming California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), there are, unfortunately, more questions than answers. If that wasn’t confusing enough, now there is a looming amendment to create a private right of action for any violation of the law without a cure period.
While parts of the CCPA require you to start tracking the collection and sharing of your personal data this year (the “one-year look-back”), now is the time for action. In this unique CCPA in-person session, hear from and ask industry leaders how they are solving the 10 hardest parts of CCPA.
TrustArc SVP Privacy Intelligence and General Counsel Hilary Wandall will be a speaker at this event.

TrustArc was pleased to once again take part in the IAPP Canada Privacy Symposium held on May 23rd and 24th in picturesque Toronto–participating in four conference sessions, side events and, of course, countless conversations. The annual confab of industry thought-leaders, regulators and privacy professionals from Canada and abroad came at a particularly fascinating moment for privacy and data protection in the world’s second largest country.
Recent events that have cast Canada in the privacy spotlight include the Office of the Privacy Commissioner (OPC)’s release of findings against the Canadian arm of a global credit reporting agency headquartered in the U.S.; the OPC’s simultaneous launching of a Consultation on a policy change to require consent for transborder data flows under the country’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA); and the government’s announcement of a new Canadian Digital Charter with ten principles intended to, if adapted to law and supported by codes of conduct and certifications, further establish Canada as a digital trade and innovation leader, while providing for adequate enforcement measures to maintain trust. At the IAPP Canada opening session, the Privacy Commissioner of Canada even announced a suspension of the Consultation, in light of privacy law changes that may arise from the Digital Charter reforms.
With this as a backdrop, the conference was ripe for rich discussions of the past, present and future of Canadian privacy. TrustArc did its part to facilitate these discussions by engaging with panelists and audience members during multiple conference sessions.
Hilary Wandall, SVP, Privacy Intelligence and General Counsel, presented on two panels in one day. The first, “International Developments Impacting Canada,” was a wide-ranging discussion of the emerging regulatory approaches around the world that are impacting the Canadian landscape, from Europe to Brazil, India to Japan, and the U.S. to Singapore. The panel likewise addressed the need to continue to infuse ongoing accountability and risk considerations into an organization’s business activities in order to realize the full value of the personal data it holds and the insights derivable from it. It further looked at digital trade considerations, recent adequacy decision negotiations and questions around the establishment of a Canadian Accountability Agent for APEC CBPR purposes.
Hilary’s second panel, “NIST Roundtable: Privacy Framework Discussion Draft” looked at the voluntary, risk- and outcome-based enterprise risk management tool being developed to help organizations answer the fundamental question of “How are we considering the privacy impacts to individuals as we develop our systems, products and services?” This Framework, still in its discussion draft phase as of April 2019, but with its preliminary draft anticipated in July/August 2019, is likely to be consequential, given the success enjoyed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s highly respected Cybersecurity Framework. Audience questions raised during the session earnestly discussed the need to focus on not only the risks or potential adverse impacts of a possible data processing, but also its benefits, to which Hilary shared thoughts on legitimate interest balancing tests and the benefits of quantifying risk. Hilary spoke alongside NIST’s Deputy Manager for the Privacy Framework.
Margaret Alston, Director of Consulting, presented with RADAR on “How to Build a Global Data Incident Management Program,” which featured discussions of how to simplify and operationalize critical privacy program functions to help ensure compliance with existing and emerging global data breach regulations–of which there are many. The engaging session looked at the lifecycle of privacy incidents, PIPEDA’s mandatory data breach notification and recordkeeping requirements, what a unified framework for global data breach compliance looks like, and surveyed global data breach laws that passed or have taken effect since 2018 (including penalties for non-compliance). A major theme across these laws, as Margaret explained, whether at the U.S. state and federal level, the GDPR, PIPEDA or APAC-Australia, is the use of a multi-factor risk assessment to determine notification obligations to affected individuals, taking into account the nuances of each law’s standard of harm.
Darren Abernethy, Senior Counsel, presented on a Star Wars-themed panel entitled “The Last Jedi: Why the Future of Privacy Belongs to Canada,” a comparative look at the legal and historical cultures that led to different privacy regimes in the European Union (comprehensive model), the United States (sectoral approach) and Canada (co-regulatory). The session asked, one year after the GDPR has been in effect, which model would best meet the challenges of tomorrow? Darren addressed the U.S. and European perspectives, surveying U.S. sector-specific legislation; discussing federalism and states as “laboratories for experimentation” as evidenced by California Consumer Privacy Act and the Washington State bill; describing the major federal legislative proposals put forth in Congress, federal agencies, private corporations, and associations such as Privacy for America or think tanks such as CIPL and the IAF. Darren concluded that any federal or state legislation should focus on interoperability with the major common concepts of significant privacy standards around the world to reduce the cost of implementation for businesses and to facilitate digital trade. Each law can do so in line with the specific cultural and historical principles for its jurisdiction, such as First Amendment rights in the U.S., but laws that have an eye towards syncing with other major standards to interoperate together will be the laws and regimes that rule the accountability- and risk-based data galaxy of the future.

Data Protection World Forum will launch a new event for 2019, The European Data Protection Summit & Dinner which takes place next week on 3rd June, 2019 at a newly launched state-of-the-art event suite at 133 Houndsditch, London. This one-day event is designed to tackle the latest issues, challenges and developments that data protection, privacy and security professionals are facing in 2019. In the evening the summit will transform into an evening-dinner where attendees will be able to enjoy a drinks reception, three-course meal, networking and entertainment. The European Data Protection Summit & Dinner will bring together an international line-up of expert speakers exploring the latest insights and findings in data protection, governance and security.
During the European Data Protection Summit, TrustArc Senior Privacy Consultant Ralph O’Brien will be speaking on “What Data Are You Collecting, How Is It Stored And Used?” This session will explore the dangers of all parts of the data journey in the GDPR era. A business that collects data – whether those data come from EU-based employees, clients or customers – must comply with the GDPR, even if that business is located outside the EU. Ensuring data collection is consent-based is only a fraction of the challenge – secure storage and compliant handling of those data can represent something of a legislative minefield, especially if third-parties are involved. Ralph’s session will take place within the Synergy track on June 3rd at 09:40.
TrustArc also has the pleasure of exhibiting at the European Data Protection Summit. Stop by booth #15 to learn how TrustArc simplifies privacy compliance for the GDPR, CCPA, and other data protection regulations with an unrivaled combination of technology and privacy expertise!
