Real Consent & A Look @ Trust @ Digital Catapult Centre
May 27 all-day

Consent is here: GDPR officialy published on May the 4th.

Organisations are already resposible for authentication and policies for use of personal data. New regulation for the withdraw of consent in the EU will require Orgs to make consent dynamic, with a clear  enforcement mandate.

Whats more, people don’t often read privacy and terms policies,  often enter false information on forms,  and purposely subvert the use of personal data in order to protect their privacy and have some measure of control. (often for good reason)

This is an semi-formal event fora look at the Trust market.  Inviting all of those building the next generation of trust to get involved.

Sponsored by the Personal Data & Trust Network  and the Kantara Initiative.

GDPR COMPLIANCE USING NYMITY’S FREE GDPR READINESS TOOLKIT @ Online Webinar
Jun 3 @ 10:00 am – 11:00 am

DATE: WEDNESDAY, JUNE 29, 2016
TIME: 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM (EDT), 7:00 AM – 8:00 AM (PDT), 3:00 PM – 4:00 PM (BST)

Attend this webinar to learn how accountability and compliance can be achieved through a structured approach to privacy management and learn how to use Nymity’s free GDPR Readiness Toolkit that will help you create a GDPR compliance roadmap.

The Free GDPR Readiness Toolkit that you will receive will include:

  1. Nymity GDPR Readiness Assessment Questions – A customizable MS Excel Spreadsheet that identifies the compliance obligations under the GDPR and provides two sets of questions to ensure privacy management is embedded throughout your organisation: one for the privacy office and one for the operational and business units.
  2. Nymity GDPR Accountability Annotations – An annotated document that identifies 41 Articles under the GDPR that require evidence to demonstrate compliance and maps them to specific privacy management activities (appropriate technical and organisational measures) that will help organisations know what is in place and what to plan to ensure ongoing compliance and accountability.

The Accountability principle runs through the core of the GDPR. Article 24 requires that organisations implement ‘appropriate technical and organisational measures’ to be able to ‘demonstrate’ their compliance with the Regulation. Nymity’s research has identified 41 Articles (out of the 99 Articles in the GDPR) that need evidence to demonstrate compliance and has mapped these Articles to the Nymity Privacy Management Accountability Framework™.

Knowledge Transfers:

  • Understand how a structured approach to privacy management can help your organisation achieve accountability and compliance under the GDPR
  • Understand how to use the Nymity GDPR Privacy Management Accountability Annotations resource to identify 54 privacy management activities (out of the 139 in the Nymity Privacy Management Accountability Framework™) that will help your organisation address ongoing compliance under the GDPR and generate the documentation that can be used as evidence

The Other 95%: The Unsecure Internet You Don’t Know About @ Cannon House Office Building
Jun 16 @ 12:00 pm – 1:30 pm

This event is part of the “Making Research Real” series, hosted by Boston University.

When the general public thinks of the hazards of the Internet, they think about phishing schemes or SQL injection. Not the 95% of the Internet we don’t see — like how email is delivered or Netflix is streamed. The fact is, most of the web is still unsecured and there’s plenty to worry about beyond devising a foolproof password.

Join Boston University Provost Jean Morrison and honorary co-hosts the Congressional Cybersecurity Caucus for an illuminating panel discussion with leading researchers, policymakers, and government officials on the true breadth of Internet insecurity and what can (or can’t) be done to fix it.

Speakers:

  • Sharon Goldberg, Associate Professor of Computer Science, Boston University
  • Joseph Hall, Chief Technologist, Center for Democracy & Technology
  • Joseph Calandrino, Research Director, Office of Technology Research and Investigation, Federal Trade Commission

Boxed lunches will be provided.

In accordance with Congressional ethics rules, this is a widely attended event.
