Information Governance ANZ brings together professionals from different disciplines across all types of organisations to develop and promote information governance best practices and innovations.

 
 
 


A technological revolution has begun, one that combines digital and physical systems to create radically new value propositions. This evolving digital world can disrupt existing businesses that do not have a proactive information governance program.

Information is now the most important asset in business savvy enterprises.

 

For the first time in history, the world's leading experts on accelerating technology are consistently finding themselves too conservative in their predictions...

- Steven Kotler, author, journalist & Director of Research, the Flow Genome Project

 
 

Effective information governance is imperative for enterprises to maximise the value of all business information and minimise the risk in an increasingly security conscious global landscape. Professionals who lead the way in creating pathways and methods for organisations to achieve this will reap the benefits.

The emerging field of information governance requires the engagement of professionals from multiple disciplines, including - cybersecurity, legal, information technology, information management, records management, privacy, risk and compliance.

The purpose of Information Governance ANZ is to provide a forum where professionals can collaborate to develop a community that promotes best practices and innovations of information governance activities and technologies that organisations employ to maximise the value of their information while minimising associated risks and costs.

Webinar on Commentary and Principles on Jurisdictional Conflicts over Transfers of Personal Data Across Borders

Webinar on Commentary and Principles on Jurisdictional Conflicts over Transfers of Personal Data Across Borders

Last month, The Sedona Conference published The Sedona Conference Commentary and Principles on Jurisdictional Conflicts over Transfers of Personal Data Across Borders, exploring the underlying tensions currently in the law and proposing six key principles of choice-of-law with respect to personal data. It addresses the role of comity analysis as a bulwark against chaos, how comity should be applied in this context, and when comity cannot be the answer, how conflicts should be resolved.

Several members of the drafting team, representing diverse professional and geographic perspectives, will participate in a public webinar on Wednesday, 31 July 2019 to explain the Commentary, answer your questions, and address your comments. The webinar will be “live” for those who can attend at the scheduled time, but due to the world-wide interest in this project, it will be recorded and made available for registered attendees to view at their convenience. Please register for the webinar here. TheCommentary, which may be downloaded here, is open for public comment through 10 August 2019, and comments may be submitted to comments@sedonaconference.org.
