Join us as Awad Loubani presents perspectives on the “Challenging World of Data Privacy and Risk Management”. In many jurisdictions, privacy is considered a fundamental human right, and data protection laws exist to guard that right. Data privacy is also important because for individuals to be willing to engage online, they have to trust that their personal data will be handled with care. Organizations use data protection practices to demonstrate to their customers and users that they can be trusted with their personal data. The information rich session will address the following topics: * Protection the online privacy of Canadians in today’s overwhelmingly digital world. * Case study: CRA privacy guiding principles. * New laws to strengthen Canadians’ privacy & trust in digital economy. * Artificial Intelligence and Data Act. * Summary of privacy regulations in Canada. * EU Artificial Intelligence Act. * Other relevant privacy legislations & regulations. * Other relevant topics: ESG; ERM; ISO 31000 standard on risk management. Awad Loubani is President of A.M.A.L. Risk Management Services Inc. As a Canadian and international risk management (RM) expert, Awad is a trailblazer in enhancing the risk management function within organizations by moving the risk culture from avoidance to focusing on “informed risk outcomes”. He advocates managing risk to protect/grow the firm’s value by enabling it to achieve its objectives more effectively and with greater long-term certainty. He helps organizations survive and thrive with the ability to identify, assess, and manage their key risks. His approach to effective RM enables organizations to achieve their objectives by continually assessing risks to reduce surprises, capitalize on opportunities and improve performance.
