Episode Notes
In this podcast episode, Lyndon Marquez, Maria D'Avanzo, and Sean Martin engage in an insightful discussion about data privacy, regulations like GDPR, and how companies approach these issues.
Lyndon Marquez highlights the differences between the U.S. and Europe in terms of their approach to privacy and data handling. He explains that GDPR was a significant milestone that helped companies focus on data protection, even though it may have initially seemed like overkill. Marquez emphasizes that striking a balance between business needs and regulatory requirements is crucial.
Maria D'Avanzo shares her experience of implementing privacy programs at Cushman. She notes that GDPR was a key factor in driving organizations to prioritize privacy as a standalone function. D'Avanzo also discusses the challenges of navigating between business goals and data protection requirements, emphasizing the importance of having an appropriate privacy program in place.
Sean Martin raises questions about the current state of privacy and data protection, wondering if companies have mastered GDPR or if there's still room for improvement. Both D'Avanzo and Marquez agree that the mindset towards data privacy in the U.S. still has a long way to go before it reaches the level of awareness seen in Europe.
The conversation also touches on the role of board members in addressing privacy concerns, the potential impact of new legislation, and the challenges smaller companies face in implementing security and privacy measures. They explore the importance of looking at data privacy from a risk perspective, making it relatable for decision-makers, and ensuring appropriate measures are in place.
