Impact on Proposed European Data Protection Reform Data protection laws are being reformed at an EU level.  The new regulatory landscape will impose tighter controls on data use and heavy penalties for violation (possibly up to 5% of global revenue).  The reforms will affect insurers and their clients alike in key areas including data breach; profiling and big data analytics; use of genetic data; and privacy risk governance.  Our panelists will describe the current status of the reforms, and provide practical insights on what the reforms mean for the insurance market.

This session will explain the initiatives and discuss their potential impacts on organisations and their insurers.
