Data Protection for Small Business

Beyond Anti-Spam:
Understanding Organizational Obligations for Handling Customer Data

Recent customer data breaches at top retailers made news headlines in Canada and the US; it was a high profile example of the changing expectations of how companies handle and protect their customer data. Along with the Canadian Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL), there is new legislation pending that will detail the responsibilities that businesses of all sizes have in protecting customer data. Attend this session to understand the most common ways that privacy is breached, and how to prepare a response plan in the event of an accidental breach.

In this session, Canadian security expert, Claudiu Popa, and technology entrepreneur, Julie King, will help participants understand what is changing, how this impacts business and most importantly, key steps businesses need to address their most critical vulnerability: their staff.

The session will cover:

What companies need to know about the new Canadian Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL), a law that takes effect on July 1, 2014.
How companies will be affected by the new $100,000 penalties tabled in changes to Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA.)
The top 10 reasons employees accidentally expose your data: Don't be surprised if you have done a few of these things yourself.
Tools and tips that will help protect your company from violating CASL or PIPEDA.
