07/07/2008: Intellect: ID and Information Management - Privacy by design

Monday, 07 Jul 2008 10:26
This is the fourth of our lunchtime seminars based around the theme: Articulate, Think, Eat (ATE).

Articulate: Brought back by popular demand, each lunchtime event introduces a leading and respected opinion former from the world of politics, media and academia. Delivering valuable insight and information into the wider issues surrounding the work of the technology industry, these bite-size sessions are not to be missed.

Think: Speeches will take place before the meal allowing you and audience members to gather thoughts and form your opinions for later discussion.

Eat: Networking opportunities over a three-course meal will then allow the issues raised to be debated at a leisurely length.

What’s being talked about?

Privacy by design

Research shows that people feel they have lost control over how their personal information is used and are increasingly concerned about the threat this poses to their privacy.

High profile security breaches will have done nothing to ease their concerns. But do those who have personal information entrusted to them do enough to ensure that privacy protections are built in to new developments not bolted on later as a cumbersome and expensive afterthought?

The Information Commissioner is at the forefront of ensuring that privacy friendly and data protection compliant approaches are adopted and the talk will concentrate on the tools he is developing from the use of his new privacy impact assessment framework to the deployment of privacy enhancing technologies.
