Think Like a Privacy Pro: Privacy in Practice

Privacy isn’t just a legal or compliance issue, it is daily practice that every IT Pro plays a role in upholding. In this session, we’ll discuss what it means to “think like a Privacy Pro” in the context of everyday decision-making. We’ll walk through how we apply core privacy frameworks like the Fair Information Practice Principles (FIPPs), GDPR, FERPA, HIPAA, and other relevant regulations. Attendees will explore the challenges and opportunities of protecting student, research subject, faculty, and staff data. We will offer practical tools and insights for keeping data secure, building a privacy-first culture, and ensuring institutional resilience in the face of privacy risks.
