Part 2: GDPR Planning: Actual Scenarios; Insurance Industry Response - February 22nd, 2018

Many GDPR discussions today seem to more align with drinking from a firehose of “must do’s” than giving meaningful guidance on what and how organizations are currently preparing and what makes the most sense for your organization to consider depending on the scope of your exposure. Actual GDPR planning scenarios underway in organizations today were examined within the scope of what U.S. organizations are subject to GDPR and how these scenarios may translate to best practice tips in preparation for the May 2018 final implementation of arguably the largest global data privacy and security regulation to impact businesses in all industries. Seasoned insurance experts also responded and shared insights and thoughts from the broker and claims/carrier perspectives regarding the current GDPR planning scenarios underway across various industries today.
