Join Rowenna Fielding, privacy, data protection & data ethics geek for hire, as she discusses her data framework for improved data governance.
During this interactive session, Rowenna will present her new framework designed to assist in identifying, articulating, and mitigating data-related harms. Unlike current approaches that attempt to quantify data harms as identifiable risks, Rowenna proposes treating them as hazards, which are often non-linear and chaotic. The framework helps organisations move beyond bare-minimum compliance to address potential harm.
Drawing on over 10 years experience at the data policy frontline, Rowenna is on a mission to mitigate harm by offering realistic solutions. This will be your opportunity to ask an experienced professional real life problems.
Who is this session for?
Data Policy officers and anyone interested in their data privacy.
