In this episode, Jacob Høedt Larsen, talks to Claire Archibald about:Claire's Background: Claire Archibald, a legal director at Browne Jacobson, specializes in data protection and information governance in education, with a strong passion for children’s and staff privacy in schools.Path into Data Protection: Claire’s career began in regulatory law, notably environmental law, which had parallels with data protection, especially regarding compliance and regulatory pressures. Her diverse experiences, including mediation and working in education, naturally led her into data protection.Challenges in Data Protection for Education: Claire highlights that many schools in the UK lack proactive privacy programs, often reacting to data breaches without thorough root-cause analysis or strategic planning.Safeguarding and Privacy: She stresses that privacy and safeguarding are not mutually exclusive; instead, strong data protection measures can support safeguarding efforts within schools.Role of DPIAs: Claire is a strong advocate for Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs) as a valuable tool for schools to understand the "why" behind their data processing activities, which helps mitigate risks and improve decision-making around digital tools.Vendor Influence and Digital Strategy: Schools often rely on EdTech vendors' sales pitches without sufficient critical analysis. This has led to a lack of strategic oversight, with schools frequently adopting new technologies without clear justifications or understanding of their impacts.Operational and Strategic Gaps: Schools often struggle with operational confidence in data protection, and trustees, who may lack time or resources, aren’t fully aware of strategic risks, resulting in a reactive rather than proactive approach to data protection.Personal Stories and the Importance of Privacy: Claire shares experiences showing the real-life impact of privacy issues, particularly on vulnerable groups like children and individuals with specific needs, emphasizing the nuanced harms that can arise from data misuse.Future Concerns in Data Protection: Claire is concerned about the accumulation of unnecessary data (“haystacks”), as this approach complicates data management, increases potential harm, and has environmental costs.Children’s Technology Use and Privacy: She highlights society’s cognitive dissonance around children’s use of technology—on one hand, technology is encouraged for educational use, while on the other, it poses risks to children's mental health and data privacy through tracking and recommender systems.Follow Claire on LinkedIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/claire-archibald-dpo/Your host: Jacob Høedt Larsen, follow me on Linkedin for more news and views on compliance and privacy: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jacobhoedtlarsen/Sustainable Compliance is brought to you by Wired Relations - read more about it here: https://www.wiredrelations.comWired Relations is a GRC solution - tailored for privacy and information security.We help organisations turn fragile privacy and information security into sustainable GRC programmes.We focus on four things:Ease-of-use: You don’t need consultants to implement Wired Relations and you don’t need training to use it.Collaboration: Privacy and infosec is a team sport.

At TDC NET they have a strong privacy and security culture. No system or vendor enters the network without being thoroughly vetted by both data protection and information security. This happens due to a governance model that is anchored in the organisation and has buy-in at top management.TDC NET provides a great part of the digital infrastructure in Denmark, through fixed-line and mobile networks.In this podcast, Jacob Høedt Larsen, talks to Head of Privacy Compliance, Mona Persson about how they make it work.They discuss:1. How the governance model is set-up2. How a new system or a new vendor goes through the governance process3.

The DPIA process is important. In this podcast we look at it from the organisational perspective. How do you make it work - not legally or technically - but organisationally.You find the presentation here: https://3963040.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/3963040/Presentations/20240405_masterclass_DPIA.pptx.pdfIt:Supports good decision-making,Good governanceComplianceOften no DPIA is required – documents the non-actionIt is also good practice to do a DPIA for any other major project which requires the processing of personal data.

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.

Today, Jacob Høedt Larsen, talk to project manager, Ida Thorsrud, about the project and learnings from it.Some take-aways:It has been possible to co-operate with Google in the proces, something that Ida has never experienced beforeParents, teachers and pupils are involved and give the project team a much better view of risks to the "data subject"Project participants learn a lot from the process that can be put to use in their everyday jobResponsibility lies with the municipalities. Therefore, the project aims at making it 80 % ready.You can follow the project by subscribing to their English newsletter: https://nyhetsbrev.ks.no/p/s/MTk4ODA6ZmUyZjg3ZTQtYWZmYS00NGZjLWE2MzItYmNkNjFlNmEyOTBmFollow your host, Jacob Høedt Larsen, on Linkedin for more news and views on Sustainable Compliance: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jacobhoedtlarsen/Sustainable Compliance is brought to you by Wired Relations - read more about us here. 

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

DPIA spells collaborationIn this episode, they dive into the topic of Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs) and the importance of collaboration in ensuring privacy-friendly practices.In this podcast you will learn about:The consequences of being in a siloed compliance functionWhy you as a privacy professional should ensure company wide collaborationHow you go from working in a silo to company wide collaborationYou will learn about how to use frameworks and stakeholder management as tools to collaborate in a better way.Jakob tells the story of Jennifer, who finds herself in a challenging situation involving a project and the need for a DPIA. The host, Benjamin, and Privacy evangelist, Jacob, discuss the misconceptions surrounding DPIAs and the typical scenarios that lead to their implementation.The podcast delves into the consequences of asking compliance professionals to justify decisions that have already been made, rather than focusing on privacy-friendly practices from the start. They explore the concept of siloed compliance functions and how it affects organizations' overall data protection efforts.To address these issues, Benjamin and Jakob propose a shift towards company-wide collaboration, emphasizing the importance of involving privacy professionals early in the project lifecycle. They discuss the ideal meeting scenarios and ways privacy professionals can contribute to the process.Your hosts: Benjamin Pomerleau (https://www.linkedin.com/in/benjamin-pomerleau/) is a product marketeer at Wired Relations.
