Trust, Risk, and Opportunity: Overseeing a Comprehensive Data and Privacy Strategy

Trust, risk, and opportunity: overseeing a comprehensive data and privacy strategy
Share on LinkedinShare on WhatsApp

Data is changing the competitive landscape. The volume of data now available to companies means they can find efficiencies, develop and target new products, gain customer insights, optimize operations, and tailor business strategies in ways they never could before, with a speed never thought possible. But collecting and using data also brings risk that it could be misused or accessed by threat actors. Converting data into value, securely and ethically, is the business imperative for the next decade.

The companies that most effectively take charge of their data throughout the data “lifecycle” will have the greatest opportunities for success. Given the opportunity and risk involved, it’s essential that boards play a key role in the process.

Data discovery

Fundamentally, the question of how companies collect, use, and protect data is tied to the business strategy. For the board to make those connections, it starts with understanding what data the company collects, how it is stored, and how it is used.

Key questions the board should be asking:

  • What types of data does the company collect?
  • What data is most valuable?
  • What data is most sensitive?
  • How is the data used and is it used ethically?

Data protection

As management protects data, the board should engage in robust discussions about the adequacy of the protection and privacy program, including information on the effectiveness of controls and whether resources are sufficient. Boards will also want to make sure they are aware of key applicable cybersecurity and data privacy laws, and any major violations.

Key questions the board should be asking:

  • What data is required to be protected?
  • What other data should be protected?
  • What processes are in place to offer that protection?

Data minimization

Once the board understands what data is collected and how it is protected, it can begin to explore with management whether any of that data could be minimized while still achieving the company’s goals for the data.

Key questions the board should be asking:

  • What types of data are collected but not used?
  • Do we have old data that is no longer used and can be eliminated?
  • In what ways could our company’s data collection (and risk) be minimized without losing current functionality or value?

Data governance

A company’s data governance will touch all of these areas: collecting, strategically using, protecting, and minimizing data. The board’s role is to oversee management’s governance of the data and ensure the people, processes, and technology in place are effective.

Key questions the board should be asking:

  • Do we have the right people, processes and policies, and technology to govern our data and meet compliance and privacy requirements?
  • How could they be improved?

Conclusion

A holistic data and privacy strategy that addresses data value and related risks, combined with a thoughtful governance approach, can help the board and management create a competitive advantage and build greater trust with stakeholders.
