Information Security and Privacy Convergence and Collaboration

Effectively addressing and coordinating privacy and information security initiatives has moved to the top of the list for companies maintaining customer and employee information. However, there are often gaps in communication and collaboration between Privacy and Information Security activities.

These gaps create more complexity and bigger challenges for companies to handle, as well as putting the organization at greater risk for incidents, along with contractual and regulatory noncompliance.

Successful privacy and information security programs collaborate together to ensure effective controls are integrated throughout the enterprise.

Chris Grillo and I have created a 2-day class that provides knowledge and tools (supported by case studies) that can be used immediately to help business leaders successfully meet these complex and difficult challenges. This two-day class addresses key focus areas for effective collaboration between privacy and information security groups.

We will discuss these issues in-depth, along with outlining 20 areas where information security and prvacy practitioners have converging responsibilities and must collaborate, when we provide our "Information Security and Privacy Convergence and Collaboration" on November 20 and 21; immediately following the CSI Annual conference taking place at the Gaylord National Resort in National Harbor, MD, close to D.C. and on the Potomac.
