Personal data is being breached in companies and institutions around the world.  In fact, the majority of the people attending the conference in May probably have had some of their personal data breached over the course of the last few years – often without even being aware.  The EU has been working on a new and very strict regulation with regards to data privacy and data protection (which is close to final approval/release) giving its citizens and authorities more extensive rights and putting constraints on the processing of personal data by companies & institutions.  As this new regulation directly affects most of the known information management capabilities (data governance, master data management, data quality, data architecture, DWH & BI, data security…), insights will be provided into how companies can practically deal with this new regulation and use these IM-capabilities on their journey towards compliance.  Additionally, organizational impacts will be discussed and a roadmap towards compliance will be presented.  You will learn:

• Understanding of the new regulation & its context.
• Understanding of its scope and the impact it has on your organization.
• Understand how information management capabilities (e.g. MDM) can be utilized to facilitate compliance.
• Understanding of the practical next steps towards compliance avoiding massive costs & manpower.
