Risk and reward - a positive perspective on data privacy

A successful privacy operating model underwrites practical privacy with good governance and places trust and transparency at the heart of data protection.

Doing privacy well is about making privacy practical, about creating a reward framework not a risk framework - and one in which a positive approach to privacy reaps rewards for all stakeholders.

AI privacy and ethics 

AI regulation: current and forthcoming rules, compliance guidance and risk mitigation

Many businesses are grappling with AI and its implications. 

Our AI white paper sets out some general guidelines for ethical and compliant use of AI and works through a number of practical examples to help elucidate the issue and present in each case a compliant approach and appropriate safeguards.

With a focus on data protection, we consider both the position being adopted by the European Union – which can be considered to be “leading the charge” in regulating the use of AI – but also the growing impetus towards AI regulation in the US, China and elsewhere.

Included in our white paper 

  • The current regulatory landscape with a focus on 
    • GDPR
    • USA
    • China
  • Future regulatory landscape looking at proposed legislation in the EU, UK and the US
  • Practical considerations and critical risks including cyber and transparency risks
  • Thoughts and recommendations on oversight and governance.

Privacy as a competitive advantage

We launched the Privacy Made Positive® initiative in 2020 with the intention of putting hard figures against our thesis that good privacy delivers measurable commercial value.

Our Privacy Made Positive® initiative is research programme and a set of tools to help organisations profit from improving privacy.

  • Economic Research - an analysis of the existing research to indicate the economic value of good privacy.
  • Europe: Consumers act on privacy. Customised consumer research conducted by Kantar with 4,000 consumers across Europe.
  • Data privacy, consumer choice and behaviours across the US. Customised consumer research conducted by Kantar with 3,000 consumers across the US.

The findings are of crucial importance to businesses that understand the importance of developing a 360° view of privacy.

Data flow mapping icon

Data flow mapping

We map all your data flows, identifying where data is transferred, which partners are involved, what business process is being served and what the risks really are.
