GDPR Reform, Online Safety, Light-Touch AI Regulation: Making Sense of the UK Legal Environment
10:00 - 11:00

The UK government's direction on tech and data policy has left data protection professionals in a deeply uncertain and often confusing regulatory environment. It's not just GDPR reform that could impact data protection—the Online Safety Bill, AI regulatory framework and Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) guidance could all impact the day-to-day work of privacy professionals.

This session will help you make sense of the UK's current legal landscape, with tech policy and data protection experts providing a comprehensive update of the various bills, frameworks and legal amendments likely to arise in the coming years.

Embedding privacy by design to enforce responsible use of data
11:00 - 11:30

Privacy is no longer just about compliance, it’s about data. How can you unlock the value of data without compromising privacy or security? Placing data responsibility at the core of your strategy is not merely a risk avoidance exercise, it's key to data protection, fostering collaboration between privacy and data governance teams, and foundational to trust with customers. The recent ISO 31700 Privacy by Design guidelines provide a framework for embedding privacy by design throughout the business.

In this session, we’ll discuss recent Privacy by Design guidelines and what this tangible guidance means for privacy programmes looking to evolve to beyond compliance to enforce responsible use of data. We’ll also hear from Zebra Technologies and how they embed Privacy by Design into their organisation, with real life examples and current challenges.

Key Takeaways:
· Understand ISO 31700 Privacy by Design standards and how to implement ​
· Understand the link between Privacy and Data Governance and practical steps toward effective partnership ​
· Learn why purpose is the key to enabling responsible use of data without disrupting the rhythm of business ​

GDPR Fines: The Biggest Penalties, Lessons Learnt and Future Trends
14:00 - 15:00

Since the introduction of GDPR in 2018, companies have faced some hefty sanctions - especially Facebook parent company Meta, which was fined a record-breaking €1.2bn (£1bn) this year for mishandling people's data when transferring it between Europe and the United States. But it's not just Big Tech companies that fell subject to GDPR fines – the rule applies to all companies that conduct business online in Europe, from retailers to airlines, and companies don't always get it right.

Join us for a discussion into the most substantial GDPR fines imposed so far, and find out out what lessons can be learnt from some of the biggest privacy penalties in history.

The "G" in ESG
13:00 - 14:00

The "G" in ESG (governance) is crucial for driving change in businesses. Effective governance sets the foundation for managing environmental and social issues. Boards of directors play a crucial role in developing clear objectives, ensuring accountability, promoting transparency, fostering ethical culture, managing risks, and attracting investments. Strong governance is vital in aligning business strategies with ESG values, ultimately leading to long-term success and sustainability. I can present the following points, among others:

    · Strong corporate governance practices can help foster trust, promote sustainable business practices, and encourage long-term value creation.
    · Strong corporate governance includes setting up relevant key performance indicators (KPIs) and incorporating G metrics into executive remuneration structures.
    · Effective governance allows companies to identify, assess, and mitigate ESG-related risks.

Addressing the imbalance: Women in GRC
14:00 - 15:00

According to a recent Tech Nation report, as of 2023 women hold only 19% of all the jobs in the tech industry, despite women making up almost half of the total workforce. What’s worse, this number is lower than the percentage of tech jobs held by women back in the 1980s.

At the senior level, however, women hold only 16% of positions. As you go higher, this number drops even lower, with women holding just 10% of executive level positions.

During this #RISK London panel debate, leaders in GRC roles including recent Award Winners will share their experience of progression in their careers and what advice and guidance they would give to younger generations looking at developing a career in Governance, Risk and Compliance.

The Tokyo 2020 Olympics was the most gender-balanced Games in history, with almost 49 per cent of participating athletes being women. All 206 National Olympic Committees also have now at least one female and one male athlete representative. This marked a landmark for gender balance in sport – a powerful means of empowering women and girls.

But what has been the journey so far? In this session, we will discuss the importance of equal representation, investment, and support for women's sports at all levels, from grassroots to professional leagues, and celebrate real stories of trailblazing athletes and leaders who have defied stereotypes and shattered glass ceilings, paving the way for future generations.

A load of rubbish - Sport and the Environment
11:00 - 11:30

There's no doubt that the sports industry has an environmental footprint. Sports may be falling victim to climate change, but they are also part of the problem. Athletes' flights, coaching, mission staff and fans, building the venues, the energy consumed to run facilities, all the single-use plastics, and even the fireworks used during ceremonies. Everything has direct, and indirect impacts on the environment.

Despite this, it's also important to highlight the success and improvements we're seeing.

Join us to learn about the power of sports as a catalyst for environmental action through innovative solutions and sustainable practices, and gain practical insights on how sports can play a vital role in preserving our planet for future generations.

13:30 - 12:00

Elite sportspeople face huge pressures. They compete at the top level, where expectations are high and their every move is watched, and this affects their mental health.

Things like injury, coming to the end of a contract, online abuse, and worrying about money and the future can all take a toll. What support is out there? How important is it to speak out? How are things changing, and why? What role does the media have in this?

Happy employees are more creative, more productive, and less likely to engage in disputes or make complaints. And of course, treating people well is the right thing to do.

But how far is an organisation responsible for the wellbeing of its employees? And if so, how can people at all levels of the company contribute to a happier working environment?

This session will explore the benefits of workplace wellbeing and consider the practical steps you can take to foster a happier organisation.

Climate risk and adaptation: The role of business in delivering resilience
14:00 - 15:00

Businesses are constantly faced by a range of climate impacts from heavy rainfall, surface water flooding and high temperatures, to water scarcity and coastal flooding. These impacts create a chain of risks, such as disruption to supply chains and distribution networks, damage to business sites and reduced productivity. Furthermore, business decisions can also add to this by locking in increased exposure and vulnerability.

This session considers the key climate risks that businesses are exposed to in the UK and the role of business in delivering a climate resilient UK.

Inspiring Women; Supporting Female Representation is critical for the future
15:00 - 15:30

It's 2023, yet only one in three UK Entrepreneurs are female. It is estimated that achieving a similar level of female entrepreneurs to male entrepreneurs could add £250 billion to the economy.

It's no secret that disparities between men and women still persist, and women have historically faced greater barriers than men when it comes to fully participating in the economy.

If we want things to change, all female identifying individuals, regardless of background, need to be recognised, celebrated and supported by their peers in their career journeys. In this session, we want to shine a light on some of the inspiring stories that will instil confidence in the next generations, and make sure that no stories of success go unnoticed.

Workplace Wellbeing: Creating a Healthy and Supportive Work Environment
16:00 - 16:30

For nearly three years, our working populations have been faced with endless uncertainty. Even when the pace of change showed signs of slowing, and workforces began to ease into their new normal, another crisis pulled the proverbial rug from beneath their feet. As a result, organisations have had to adapt just as quickly, responding to the ever-changing needs of their people in a proactive way.

Many have risen to this challenge, yet it certainly has been a turbulent time for those tasked with managing the wellbeing of their workforce.

Today we want to hear and be inspired by the businesses and individuals that are demonstrating passion, drive, and determination to make the working world a better place.

A New Era of AI Governance
16:00 - 17:00

More than ever before, everyone’s talking about AI, from image generation to task automation, to chatbots that come pretty close to passing the “Turing test”.

As AI technology becomes increasingly advanced and widespread, it is essential to consider the guidelines, regulations and ethical frameworks that ensure its responsible and ethical use. And with new laws such as the EU’s AI Act around the corner, getting this right is imperative.

This session will explore the challenges and opportunities associated with AI governance, and propose strategies for addressing them in the coming years. You’ll learn ideas and strategies for promoting responsible and ethical use of AI technology, and for addressing potential challenges in the governance of AI.

What Are ‘Reasonable’ Security Measures? It Depends.
15:00 - 15:45

Security laws and frameworks require security teams to take a risk-based approach to defending against threats, determining the “reasonable” level of security relevant to the context in which they are operating and the systems they’re trying to protect.

Determining what is “reasonable” is no easy task, sometimes requiring input from several departments and careful resource allocation. But getting this right is a crucial element of demonstrating your company’s compliance.

Every organization handles sensitive data; according to the ICO, the leading cause of data leaks remains non-cyber related errors. So while outsider threats are increasingly sophisticated, failure to prevent outbound data leaks caused by well meaning employees sees organizations vulnerable to hefty fines and reputational damage. And so, determining what is “reasonable” should see security teams identifying digital communications as one of their primary risk vectors; the amount of data we handle every day is increasing and employees must be empowered to protect it through the application of interoperable technology in addition to traditional SEG’s and security training programmes.

In this session, security experts and experienced practitioners will share their views on how to determine a baseline level of security that meets the company’s obligations and provides effective protection against inbound and outbound security attacks.

Camms GRC Demo: Achieving strong rates of user adoption and minimise resistance to change by implementing user personas effectively
14:30 - 15:00

We read whitepapers and hear from thought leaders about the importance of linking risk to strategic objectives. Michael Rasmussen’s latest GRC 6.0 framework is even built around that concept, but what does that look like in reality and how can businesses implement it?

In this session, Tom Kerin, Chief Product Officer at Camms, will provide a live demonstration of how risk teams can align risk management with businesses objectives using the Camms GRC tool. He will demonstrate how an organisation can set up a best practice risk management programme and plan, and then execute their corporate strategy, all in one holistic GRC platform.

Tom will show how easy it is to build a digital risk register, perform risk assessments, set key risk indicators, monitor risks and generate instant reports and analytics on risk. He will then explain how organisations can operationalise their strategy within the same GRC platform, enabling organisations to break down their strategy into smaller projects and tasks with clear deadlines, budgets and ownership.

Finally, Tom will then explain how these areas can be linked to provide deep insights to support strategic decision making. Taking this approach will turn risk teams into trusted partners who can advise the board on of strategic decision-making decisions, such as where to allocate budget and implement controls to mitigate critical risks, as well as recommend which risks are worth taking in pursuit of strategic objectives and which should be mitigated. Aligning risk with business objectives will ultimately help organisations to achieve better business results and create a risk aware, sustainable business that will thrive in the future.
