Data protection is not just about compliance. It is also about demonstrating compliance, and this is particularly important for regulatory investigations, we hear at #IAPPIntensive26. Transparency is therefore key alongside the ability to maintain confidentiality.
Not getting the wider strategy right when faced with a regulatory investigation is regarded as the most critical mistake. It sounds obvious but when operating in crisis mode, having the space to think is lacking precisely when it is most important. Wise views at #IAPPIntensive26.
A complaint that is not amicably resolved and is escalated to a regulator is seen as one of the most common triggers of a formal regulatory investigation at #IAPPIntensive26.
