Dr Sébastien Ziegler, President of the Europrivacy International Board of Experts, spoke at Beyond Compliance: From Data Protection to Value Creation, a conference hosted by Luxembourg’s National Commission for Data Protection (CNPD). The event brought together representatives from finance, technology, law, academia and data protection authorities to discuss how responsible data governance can create value for organisations.
How data protection supports better business decisions
The discussion built on a joint report by Luxembourg’s CNPD, France’s CNIL and the UK’s Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). It explored how responsible data governance can help organisations reduce risk, build trust and make better decisions about how they use personal data.
The role of independent certification
Independent certification can give customers and business partners verifiable evidence of how an organisation protects personal data in the processing activities covered by its certification. That evidence can help inform decisions when assessing suppliers or business partners.
Europrivacy congratulates the CNPD on bringing these perspectives together and the CNPD, CNIL and ICO teams on their joint report.
