GRAND RAPIDS – Michigan InfraGard, West Michigan ISACA and ConnecTech Greater Kalamazoo will be offering a two-day privacy workshop in Grand Rapids next month that also will provide attendees with 16 Continuing Professional Education credits towards certifications.

The workshop, on Nov. 12-13, will be held at Davenport University Lettinga Campus in Grand Rapids. Only 60 spaces are available, so first come, first served.

Handling complex and difficult Privacy and Information Security issues has moved to the top of the list for companies maintaining customer and employee information. However, there are often gaps in communication and coordination between Privacy and Information Security activities. These gaps create more complexity and bigger challenges for companies to handle as well as putting the organization at greater risk for incidents, along with contractual and regulatory noncompliance. Successful programs require the two strategies to be complementary and integrated throughout all of the enterprises – within every business process stage and at every level within the organization.

This workshop will provide practical knowledge and numerous tools to address complex privacy and information security convergence and compliance issues within your organization as well as learn how other organizations are handling these Privacy and Information Security challenges. Through discussing key trends, and issues, such as legal requirements and frameworks, that are common to both areas, attendees will learn how privacy and security teams can effectively work together.

Participants will take away numerous valuable resources and tools they can start using right away to help successfully meet these complex and difficult challenges.
