Auditing Privacy Companies - Implementing Internal Controls

This training on data security will provide the tools to design and implement effective IT control structures and audit programs to help comply with the current data privacy and confidentiality regulations.

Why Should You Attend:

With the growth of social media networking and use of computer systems in storing confidential data, non-compliance with privacy laws in various countries has led to record penalties. Management and auditors of organizations using cloud computing or other technologies to store confidential data/personal information of individuals have an obligation in terms of legislation to ensure the confidentiality as long as the data remains within their sphere of responsibility. Failure to do so can have major implications in terms of both reputational risk and even long-term survival of an organization. Internal audits play a vital role in ensuring corporate compliance and ongoing effectiveness of appropriate control structures.

This training will explain the methods to comply with current data privacy regulations. It will help the attendees in understanding and implementing an effective control structure and internal audit program within the organization. It will also discuss the auditor’s role in evaluating privacy control structures and the use of continuous monitoring in order to comply with privacy legislation.
