Gwen Hassan on Staying Culturally Curious


The Compliance Life details the journey to and in the role of a Chief Compliance Officer. How does one come to sit in the CCO chair? What are some of the skills a CCO needs to success navigate the compliance waters in any company? What are some of the top challenges CCOs have faced and how did they meet them? These questions and many others will be explored in this new podcast series. Over four episodes each month on The Compliance Life, I visit with one current or former CCO to explore their journey to the CCO chair. This month, my guest is Gwen Hassan, Managing Counsel and Director of Compliance at CNH Industrial.
In this third episode, Gwen shares the advice would you give to someone who may be interested in pursuing a career in compliance. She details the most challenging thing about being a compliance professional and what is the most rewarding. She looks into the future and explores where she sees the profession headed over the next decade and what new skill sets will be needed/required to be successful in 2025 and beyond.

The Risks with Employee Data with Robert Meyers


 
Robert Meyers is the Channel Solutions Architect for One Identity, a software company that helps organizations establish an identity-centric security strategy. Tom Fox welcomes him to this week’s show to talk about compliance, data privacy, and employee data issues.
 

The Role of One Identity
“Most companies forget about employees, and this gets impacted by GDPR,” Robert says. His role at One Identity allows him to explain to companies where they can fit identity protections for employees. He also helps companies with their logging systems to prevent them from sending out sensitive information into their log store. Robert adds that he also works as a consultant for partners and helps with privileged access management.
Data Has a Life Cycle
“Data itself should have a life cycle,” Robert emphasizes. The concept of never deleting anything and keeping copies of everything is a bad idea. Data discipline and data management governance expects that you remove data at an appropriate time. Robert iterates that data privacy and data protection have to be integrated with operations because if it isn’t, it won’t be dealt with at all. In response to Tom’s question on who owns Compliance, Robert says that it has to be the Chief Operating Officer.
What’s Next
Tom asks Robert what businesses should expect to happen around data privacy between now and 2023. Robert says that there will be more risk assessment. Most breaches conducted within organizations are internal. He advocates for greater enforcement of laws and regulations as well as more legislation.
