CDSA Debuts New Privacy Working Group
Story Highlights
The Content Delivery & Security Association (CDSA), the worldwide forum advocating for the innovative and responsible delivery and storage of entertainment, software, and information content, has approved a new Privacy Working Group.
The Privacy Working Group aims to promote increased understanding and specific best practices and recommendations around the evolving area of privacy as an element of security.
The group will delve into operational and security privacy issues that are often overlooked by legal and will be open to both content owner and vendor involvement.
Areas of focus will include:
• Compliance obligations. Consider the applicability of privacy legislation worldwide, including the General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR), with a view to developing best practices and recommendations for compliance across the industry.
• Vendor compliance. Consider the usefulness, cadence, and content of vendor privacy assessments for the purpose of supply chain verification.
• Remote/cloud and app. To better understand the privacy challenges across the industry’s hybrid working culture.
• Localisation. Consider the risks involved in the sharing of PII between geographies, internal and external stakeholders, and both physical, cloud and hybrid working environments.
• Freelancer environment. Evaluate the risks relating to data maintenance and security when engaging with freelancers, considering sourcing, and hiring through to onboarding and ongoing PII management.
• Voice data. Consider the risks around special categories of PII such as voice data and evaluate the usefulness of technology solutions available to reduce the risk of sharing this type of data.
Chris Johnson, CEO of Convergent Risks, Stephanie Iyayi, SVP of legal and privacy for Convergent Risks, and Nicole Quilfen, COO of Mediartis, will chair the working group.
