Shifting Privacy Left is a conscious effort to embed privacy practices earlier in the development life cycle to prevent privacy harms and data breaches from forming, Privacy Tech Advisor Debra Farber says.In this interview Debra Farber and I discuss what Shifting Privacy Left does, how it helps organisation, what competencies are needed and how it is implemented.My take-aways from the interview:Privacy requirements should be table stakes and functional product requirements, not something that comes from legal or the privacy team.Privacy by Design is the strategy, Shifting left is the implementation.It's a cultural shift which requires upskilling. Today, most developers, don't think privacy is their responsibility. Therefore, they should learn about privacy and data protection.Shifting Privacy Left can solve problems, lessening the compliance burden down the line. You host: Jacob Høedt Larsen, follow me on Linkedin for more news and views on compliance and privacy: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jacobhoedtlarsen/Debra J.

From tick-the-box compliance to balanced decision-makingIn this episode we'll go deeper into the second trend of Sustainable Compliance and look at why things are changing from a mindset of "tick-the-box compliance" to a "balanced decision-making". We'll also share learnings on how to get there.Why tick-the-box compliance is not a great idea.💵 Calculating 4 % of global revenue for fines does not make sense anymore.To most companies discovery risk is low, and the level of fines have never reached that level.👮🏻‍♀️Management buy-in should not be based on fear of fines.It should be based on how the privacy program positively benefits the organisation.📚 Legal requirements are important.So are the demands and wishes of our customers, colleagues, local community and other stake holders.We should broaden the scope of our privacy compliance.💻 Spread sheets are great for many things (I'm told).They proved less optimal for privacy compliance because keeping them up-to-date became a hassle. Many have not been updated since 2018.✅ Tick-the-box compliance is dying. And we shouldn’t lament that.Instead, let’s replace it with making balanced decisions on data compliance taking the law, value creation and public expectations into account.😇 Feeling good about your job is important.However, only feeling good when you ARE compliant will make you feel miserable most of the time.Let’s feel great about the process of compliance.🧑🏼‍💻 And finally. Data compliance is real work and provides benefits to the organisation.Follow your host, Jacob Høedt Larsen, on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jacobhoedtlarsen/Read more about the cooperation problem, Officers and Operators on our blog: LINKSustainable Compliance Live is a weekly show and you’re invited.

In this live episode of Sustainable Compliance we take a look back on how the compliance landscape has changed over the years and gather the trends that we see in this space now.Jacob Hoedt Larsen starts by taking us back to the days when he worked in a candy factory that was implementing some of the first IT systems through the times of mass adoption of systems to now. We will see how the role of the compliance function has changed over time to become involved in much more that just the legal aspect.Trend # 1 From centralized authority to company-wide collaborationTrend # 2 From tick-the-box compliance to balanced decision-makingTrend # 3 From problem-oriented to solution-orientedTrend # 4 From legal thinking to strategic involvementTrend # 5 From managing data subject to caring about peopleFor more information about Sustainable Compliance, visit our website Follow Jacob Hoedt Larsen on LinkedIN
