ARMA California Summer Conference
“US Regulators Lift the Curtain on Data Practices with Assessment, Reporting, & Audit Requirements”
Thursday, June 6 | 3:45pm ET
Join SPB’s Alan Friel at ARMA’s California Summer Conference for his session on US data assessment requirements. Following the lead of Europe, four US states currently require businesses to conduct and document assessments to evaluate and mitigate risks in connection with new and ongoing personal data processing activities, and at least eight additional states will do so before the end of 2025. California, which applies its requirements beyond traditional consumers to human resources and business-to-business contexts, requires regulatory filings of assessments. On March 8th, draft California assessment regulations were moved forward toward preparation for public comment. These new obligations will raise the curtain on companies’ IG practices for regulators, and thereby necessitate robust data protection programs. The presentation will discuss regulators’ plans for more aggressive enforcement of state privacy laws and what we can do as Information Governance professionals to ready ourselves.
ARMA’s California Summer Conference will be held on June 6-7, 2024 in Irvine, CA.
