Synomos Presents Free Webinar: The Relationship Between Corporate Governance And Data Protection
For immediate release
MONTREAL, CANADA — February 21, 2005 — Synomos Inc., makers of the Align Data-Policy Provisioning Suite, today announced a free webinar session where security, compliance and governance experts will discuss the dynamic between corporate governance requirements and information security and privacy management processes. This webinar is presented as part of Synomos’ ongoing Professional Education Series and is co-sponsored by Nymity Inc and Jefferson Data Strategies. It is open to the public and participants can register by visiting http://www.synomos.com.
“On one hand, good corporate governance clearly requires appropriate controls and processes around technical and operation risk management. On the other hand, security and privacy regulatory compliance and effective IT asset management increasingly overlap one another,” said Patrick Sullivan, Senior Vice President of Policy Advisory Services at Synomos. “The result is a ‘compliance convergence’ where the need to manage security or privacy compliance or IT assets is a need to manage critical policies and processes across all three areas,”
Mr. Sullivan will moderate the webinar. Attendees will include compliance, privacy, data security and governance officers, along with lawyers and corporate executives.
Issues that panelists will address include:
- How do corporate governance requirements shape the understanding and development of data protection management and compliance programs?
- What considerations and critical relationships in the business environment drive the elevation of privacy, security and IT asset management to the level of governance issues?
- What is the role of compliance technologies in managing governance Requirements? What are criteria for effective technology assessment?
- What is the role of BS7799/ISO17799, COBIT, and other similar frameworks in shaping governance processes around data protection?
