Privacy law update: New mandatory notification laws for data breaches

Changes to privacy laws in Australia, effective 22 February 2018, have a significant impact on Australian businesses and how they manage personal information collected from customers, employees and others. Data breach notification will become mandatory for businesses covered by the Australian Privacy Act 1988.  Now is the time to review your privacy systems and processes to ensure you meet the requirements of the new laws. Do you know where to start?  Have you ever conducted a Data Privacy Audit?  Do you understand how these new laws will impact you?

Join Australian Business Lawyers & Advisors on Wednesday, 7 February 2018 to hear from the experts on data protection and privacy laws.  Gain insights on what you must know and the next steps to meeting your obligations.
The webinar will cover:

• What ‘personal information’ and ‘sensitive information’ means
• How the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) apply to your business
• Systems, policies and procedures you should have in place to protect the data collected
• What an ‘eligible data breach’ is and what to do if it happens.

Whether as a result of human error or a more sophisticated cyber attack, organisations have an obligation to have systems and processes in place to report and manage an eligible data breach.  Don’t miss this informative event and get started on protecting your business.
