Compliance Week Webinar: Managing Cookie Consent and Cookie Audits for GDPR and CCPA Compliance
October 1 @ 11am PT | 2pm ET | 6pm BST
Online Webinar
As consumers’ awareness of the use of cookies and similar tracking technologies has begun to soar, global lawmakers and regulators have taken a keen interest in how companies are using website and mobile tracking – particularly in the area of consent. This has evidenced itself through enforcement actions, new EU supervisory authorities’ guidance and stark warnings of changes to come.
Relatedly, new laws like the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) will afford consumers the right to opt-out of the “sale” of their personal information to third parties, prompting updates to traditional consent practices in the US. With this new normal in mind, it’s important for organizations to understand where changes may be needed to their data governance, website and supply chain practices.
Join us on this webcast, where we’ll discuss:
- An overview of the mechanics of online advertising, and the latest regulatory guidance in the cookie consent and digital ads spaces;
- Website changes that can increase compliance with CCPA and other US state privacy laws;
- Best practices for publishers and advertising ecosystem participants in transparency, documenting legal bases, treatment of special category data, “cookie” consent exceptions, and more; and
- A real-world use case of sound website cookie consent practices.
TrustArc Senior Counsel Darren Abernethy will be the speaker for this webinar.

IAPP & TrustArc Webinar
How Privacy Tech Is Bought and Deployed
October 15 @ 7:30am PT | 10:30am ET | 3:30pm BST
Online Webinar
For the second year running, the IAPP, together with TrustArc, surveyed 345 privacy professionals around the globe to gain an understanding of how privacy technology products are purchased and deployed within an organization. Since 2017, the IAPP has mapped out the privacy tech marketplace through the IAPP Privacy Tech Vendor Report, which identifies 10 categories of products. Like the 2018 survey, results this year shine a light on which products are in use and under whose budget privacy tech purchases are made, as well as other budgetary and purchase-decision-making insights.
What you’ll learn:
- What technology is truly in use versus what is still far from the mainstream.
- Which tools are better suited to reside within the privacy office rather than being housed in IT or infosec.
- How technologies with built-in security applications fare against newer privacy-office-specific solutions.
- Which technologies are most likely to be found on major organizations’ purchase requests this year.
TrustArc is sponsoring this webinar. TrustArc SVP Privacy Intelligence and General Counsel will be speaking on this webinar.

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

The increasing complexity of conducting business in the digital world has resulted in the need for organizations to adopt solutions that demonstrate compliance. Consumers care now more than ever what happens with their data when they use these services. The seemingly never ending announcements of global privacy frameworks make matters even more challenging (and dare we say it, costly). The old days of spreadsheets and Word documents are simply not up to the demands of the modern digital ecosystem.
For the second year running, the IAPP together with TrustArc surveyed 345 privacy professionals around the globe to gain an understanding of how privacy technology products are purchased and deployed within an organization. In this 3-post blog series, we will discuss the findings of this data and how you can use these data points in your organization.
Similar to last year’s survey, it is clear that certain technologies belong to the information technology and information security side of the organization, while others clearly fall under the privacy team’s domain. Perhaps the most notable finding from this report is that privacy and data protection professionals increasingly have input into certain privacy technology purchases, though they often have less budgetary control. Of all 11 categories of products surveyed, these privacy teams are most interested in data mapping and data flow management, privacy program management, legal updates, and individual rights management. In fact, the survey showed that these were the top 4 privacy tools that privacy teams specifically planned to purchase within the next 12 months.
In line with last year’s results, enterprise-wide technologies that increase security or affect an organization’s IT architecture have a more mature standing in the marketplace. A vast majority of respondents have purchased, tested and implemented network activity monitoring and secure enterprise communications and thus have no plans to purchase such tools in the near future. Mimicking the trend of security, privacy tools may are speculated to grow with adoption over the next several years.
The biggest driver for privacy tech adoption is the need to demonstrate compliance. With the arrival of the EU General Data Protection Regulation and other more recent privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act, the need to demonstrate compliance has grown in significance in the last year. This is only the beginning of regional regulations on privacy. In order to keep up with the quickly growing list of laws and regulations, organizations will require technology that offers scalability and efficiency, while guiding them toward privacy compliance.
In Part II of this series, we will discuss how top technology choices compare by the IT office and the Privacy office as well as deployment strategy across top privacy tools.

TrustArc and the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP) has announced the results of new research that examined how privacy technology is bought and deployed to address privacy and data protection challenges. Findings show that products that help businesses discover and map data flows top the list of purchase plans and that the privacy team is playing a larger role in privacy tech purchasing decisions as organizations navigate a complex field of regulations.
“As the number of privacy regulations grows, organizations must contend with the complexity of managing an increasingly fragmented privacy regulatory landscape,” said Chris Babel, CEO, TrustArc. “These rapid regulatory changes make cross-regulation management more difficult. As a result, organizational leaders are purchasing technology that can streamline the process of building global privacy compliance at scale, while turning more to privacy and data protection professionals for purchase input.”
The increasing complexity of business in the digital world, coupled with a growing list of global privacy frameworks, has increased the need for organizations to adopt solutions that demonstrate compliance and are scalable and efficient. With the entry of GDPR last year, privacy technology solutions were pushed into prime time. Not only do privacy professionals need tools to organize and record data mapping and inventory exercises, as well as systems for conducting privacy impact assessments, they also increasingly require support with consent management, cookie compliance and data subject access requests (DSAR). The latter is becoming increasingly critical with the impending implementation of the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).
“This survey encapsulates the priorities and decision-making process organizations are pursuing to ensure ingrained privacy and compliance,” said Trevor Hughes, CIPP, CEO, IAPP. “By providing a better understanding of the practices followed across the industry, the survey results can help organizations benchmark, budget, and plan for how to use and deploy technology to enhance their privacy programs.”
Key findings from the survey include:
Data mapping, data discovery, assessment management, and individual rights are top growing privacy tool categories:
- The top purchase plans for the next twelve months include Data Mapping / Flow (24%), Data Discovery (23%), Assessment Management (20%) and DSAR / Individual Rights (18%).
- Compared to last year’s survey, demand for Privacy Legal Updates and Information Management solutions has grown by 5%.
- Survey results showed similar privacy tech-purchasing habits among companies, regardless of size or whether in highly regulated (e.g., financial and health) or non-regulated industries.
Privacy department plays large role in purchase process:
- Privacy teams are the leading decision input for 9 of the 11 tool categories; The top four include Program Assessments (37%), Legal Updates (36%), Data Mapping (31%), and Individual Rights (31%).
- Privacy teams are the top budget sources for Privacy Assessment (51%), Privacy Legal Updates (45%), Individual Rights (41%), Data Mapping (35%), and Data Subject Consent (34%) tools.

About the Research
The survey was fielded in March 2019 to the IAPP’s Daily Dashboard newsletter, which reaches 46,000 subscribers from around the globe. The results are based on the response from 345 privacy professionals (primarily in-house, consultants and legal) based in the U.S. (45%), EU/Non-UK (28%), UK (12%), Canada (6%), Asia Pacific (5%) and Other (5%). While all key industry sectors were represented among the respondents, the five top industries were software and services (17%), consulting services (13%), legal services (10%), health care/pharmaceutical (8%) and financial services (6%).
The eleven technology categories surveyed were: Network activity monitoring, Secure enterprise communications, Website scanning and cookie compliance, Privacy legal updates and information management, Incident response, Privacy program assessment and management, Data mapping and data flow, DSAR/individual rights management, Data subject consent, Personal data discovery, and De-identification/pseudonymity.

TrustArc / Data Protection World Forum Webinar
Consent & Legitimate Interest: The Continuing Debate
May 14 @ 2PM BST | 6AM PT
Online Webinar
TrustArc is co-hosting a one hour webinar with the Data Protection World Forum about managing consent and legitimate interest. Indeed, the GDPR has raised the bar with new requirements on companies to justify their use of EU personal data. And while relying on consent is not the only legal option available, it’s successfully put GDPR at the top of every inbox as consumers were submerged in emails from companies urging them to “stay in touch” or “not miss out”.
With a divergence of opinion, consent management remains a hot topic and has generated a lot of questions and uncertainty. Legitimate Interest is an equally valid legal basis for processing personal data, however this remains a grey area for many companies.
The experts on this webcast will cover:
- The most recent guidance from regulators on seeking consent
- The fundamentals of Consent Management
- Sample consent forms, legitimate interests assessments and other best practice examples
- Use cases of Legitimate Interest & limitations
- Industry response to new regulations – how has marketing changed?

GDPR: Where Are We Now?
May 16 @ 8AM PT | 11PM ET | 4PM GMT
Online Webinar
Ever find yourself thinking about what you were doing this time last year? Many professionals often dedicate time at some point throughout the year to reflect on the previous 12 months and think through achievements, progress that has been made, and sometimes things to continue improving upon. With the first anniversary of the EU General Data Protection Regulation just around the corner, it feels like a natural time to stop and take a look at how the privacy landscape has evolved since May 25, 2018, and how compliance with the GDPR breach notification requirements has impacted our work, our organizations and, of course, how it has influenced other breach notification regulations, such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).
This webinar will review:
- How compliance with the GDPR has impacted privacy professionals’ work and our organizations.
- Overview of the GDPR benchmarking data from the past year to uncover trends and key observations.
- The impact the GDPR has had on influencing newer regulations, such as CCPA and Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), as well as a look into other emerging GDPR-like regulations.
- Strategies for building and implementing a comprehensive and best-in-class program that addresses all phases of privacy management.
