Are you a small business owner looking to understand more about how privacy and/or cybersecurity affects your business?
Getting a clear understanding of the basic requirements and implementing changes can be costly. It is therefore often placed in the ‘too hard basket’ by business owners and company directors.
At this presentation, you will hear from experienced technology and commercial lawyer, Ash Rozario, and Professor EJ Wise, one of Australia’s most experienced cybersecurity lawyers, as they provide you with information and tips on:
- Potential privacy and/or cybersecurity risks to your business
- Recent changes or proposed changes to legislation in these areas
- Key privacy concepts, and ways to improve your privacy sophistication
- How to improve your cybersecurity position
Compliance and sound organisational policy with respect to privacy and cybersecurity is becoming increasingly important to businesses of all sizes. For example, did you know that the current federal Privacy Act review proposes to remove the small business exemption from the Privacy Act, requiring small businesses to comply with privacy legislation in the future?
In addition, the recent prevalence of cyber attacks on businesses (even on the highly sophisticated) have led to high levels of distress and loss for the businesses and individuals involved. Situations such as these raise an obvious reputational risk, but also a legal compliance risk for company directors.
Learn some basic tips and strategies for your business, that you can DIY, to reduce your business’s risk of harm and reputational damage from these events.
