< back Handling privacy breaches the smart way ​ More detailed information A constantly changing legal and regulatory environment is the “new normal” for privacy. The EU GDPR had a significant global impact since 2018 and inspired many other countries to renew their data protection regulations. The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) went into effect in 2020. In addition, the global health crisis created concerns around new and emerging uses of personal data such as contact-tracing apps, telemedicine and network thermometers. As the complexity of privacy regulations increases, so does the responsibility for organizations to manage personal data and ensure their security and privacy teams are aligned to respond to potential privacy breaches. Data breaches are a constant threat for all organizations, and no matter how many policies, strategies or defenses there are, sooner or later a skilled attacker will be able to compromise them. In this presentation, Marc shows the importance of having a strong privacy practice including having robust policies, processes and tools in place to help manage data privacy and breach notification requirements. Employees should be regularly informed via training about basic privacy practices. HR, legal, compliance, security and IT are some of the teams affected by privacy and need to participate. In short, privacy is a team sport, and so are privacy breaches. The presentation shows which 5 steps need to be followed when a data breach occurs and mentions 10 appropriate technical and organisational measures to avoid possible data breaches.

< back Dynamic equilibrium, from (im)power to strength in work relationships How a dynamic balance in working relationships can ensure that everyone can use their full potential to achieve great results together. More detailed information In his first book 'Build your dream team', author Johan De Keyser firmly stated that a high-performance team consists of strengthful personalities who are willing to work together to realize a collective dream.

How do you deal with this as a team leader or team member? How do you find dynamic equilibrium and move from powerlessness to strength? How do you ensure equivalent relationships within a collaboration? How can you ensure that employees feel really involved, so that they enjoy realizing the set goals and dreams?

Her breakthrough came in '93 with a first world title in Hamilton, Canada and she successfully combines top sport and higher studies in communication management/journalism. In '96 she won a brilliant silver medal after a very difficult course. Breaking her neck in '98 and barely escaping the wheelchair, she became European Champion again 5 months later. Two months before the Olympic Games in Sydney 2000 she tore her cruciate ligaments in her right knee. In spite of this, she achieved a second Olympic bronze medal with a broken knee. 8 years after winning her first world title, she becomes world champion for the second time in 2001 and does not lose a single match that year. The reconversion after top sport is going smoothly and there is no question of the black hole. With the same determination, enthusiasm and commitment as in judo, she throws herself into her second life. A jack-of-all-trades, Vandecaveye is reorienting herself to become an independent entrepreneur in "PR & Sport Consulting" and is looking for exciting projects, new horizons and exciting challenges. Her professional activities are mainly focused on companies, the non-profit sector and sport for all. Her life's mission is to inspire people and promote a fit lifestyle through healthy eating, recreational events and sporting initiatives. On the other hand, promotional campaigns, judo initiations and demonstrations, travel shows, PR activities, team building, lectures and incentives also fill her agenda. As a cosmopolitan, she travels the world with her travel project Gella Goes Global. After her biography "Gella & Eddy, a neck-breaking duo", she will publish a second book. Thanks to, despite or partly due to the Corona crisis, Gella was stimulated to reorientate herself, and to reinvent and redirect herself for a second time. In addition to her "PR, Sport Consulting, Event" department, she added another "Real Estate, Renovation, Coordination" section to her professional activities!
