This workshop helps you address different aspects of cross border transfers by using a hypothetical scenario involving a multi-party data sharing and aggregation platform. Each group shares and learns from others as each tackles a unique aspect of the project.

Particular focus will be given to the recently issued Part 2 (Implementation Guide) to the Joint Guide to ASEAN Model Contractual Clauses (MCCs) and EU Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs).

[WORKSHOP]

In today's data-rich business environment, organisations have abundant opportunities for data innovation and growth. However, these opportunities also bring increased concerns about data privacy and protection. Data Protection Officers (DPOs) need to understand Privacy Enhancing Technologies (PETs) and how they can help to effectively navigate these challenges.

This scenario-based workshop will introduce and provide DPOs a basic understanding of PETs. The session is designed to be non-technical and will focus on empowering participants to leverage PETs to support data use while addressing data protection challenges.

Suitable for Data Protection Officers and their technical teams who are interesting in learning about PETs. No experience required.
