This CLE course will guide employers and counsel in meeting the data protection requirements of U.S. data breach notification laws and the data breach notification provisions contained in the new EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The panel will discuss best practices for employers and counsel of employers to comply with U.S. and EU laws, understand potential penalties for failure to comply, and mitigate liability in the event of a data breach.

Description

As technology and electronic processing of individually identifiable data continue to advance, employers and counsel face novel legal challenges regarding privacy and data security and compliance challenges due to an intricate web of federal, state, local and international privacy and data-protection laws. Moreover, the new GDPR, effective May 2018, subjects organizations that do business in the EU or transfer personal data outside of the EU to increased responsibilities and obligations concerning privacy and data protection.

Employers and counsel must be aware of the intricacies of the laws to draft and implement appropriate policies and procedures to mitigate the risk of a potential data breach and prepare to comply with U.S. and EU requirements in the event that a breach occurs. Of particular importance are protocols for reporting data breaches to meet the limited time periods specified in the applicable laws and regulations and avoid steep penalties.

Listen as our authoritative panel discusses the intricacies of U.S. and international privacy and data security laws and regulations, and best practices for structuring policies aimed at preventing and mitigating liability.
