Recent developments and privacy regulations are transforming the information management landscape in the financial sector. As GDPR and now the California Consumer Privacy Act and other regulations take effect, financial institutions are increasingly required to navigate the intersections of data privacy, FINRA rules and other traditional components of information management such as records management, handling of legacy data, and eDiscovery processes.
In this webinar, hear from the experts on how to implement information management policies suited for this new era, assess existing technologies, and drive discussions internally to obtain budget.
