Privacy compliance is all about assessing the risks to your data processing activities and putting in place controls to prevent information about individuals being mismanaged or abused. The challenge to accomplishing this is twofold, namely: - have you gone into unconventional depth to understand the dynamics of those risks; and - have you got a framework that will make it easier for you to maintain this cycle of assessing risk/putting in controls. Similarly to achieving enviable results in the gym, the key to unlocking the value of privacy compliance is being consistent in paying attention to how your data processing activities evolve, ensuring you follow through with the assess/mitigate cycle outlined above and retaining access to a resource who can give you tailored guidance on the issues that are relevant to your organisation. With cross-industry experience encompassing sectors such as insurance, gambling and e-commerce, I act as a strategic advisor to organisations, helping them navigate both regulatory compliance and commercial issues. Having worked with executive leadership from global conglomerates as well as boutique service providers in countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Israel and Gibraltar, I believe that I am capable of building relationships with an array of stakeholders, ensuring continuity of management and culture. I am also a Certified Information Privacy Manager (CIPM), Certified Information Privacy Professional - Europe (CIPP/E) and I hold a law degree (LL.B) from Lancaster University, United Kingdom. I am also recognised as a Fellow of Information Privacy (FIP) by the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP).
