Think Your Website is GDPR Compliant? Think Again!

Data security legislation like the GDPR (enforcement begins May 25th, 2018) allows users to control how and if their personal data is used by companies. This shift in control fundamentally changes how companies can collect, store, and use information about prospects and customers. While understanding and implementing privacy related regulation in web projects is a necessity, related knowledge and skill sets become a real business differentiator and a key part of a user’s privacy experience (PX).

Key Topics:

• Practical interpretation of the GDPR 
• How to determine if you are at risk for compliance 
• Repeatable process for assessing security risks in Drupal websites 
• Security by design
• Impact to data, analytics, and personalization strategies 

Who Should Attend: 
Anyone who can say yes to at least one of the following: 

• Do you have a website with international traffic? 
• Do you use a CRM or Marketing Automation platform? 
• Does your site have an analytics platform like Google Analytics? 
• Does your website use cookies? 
• Does your website collect personal information? Anything from a store or a contact form counts! 
• Can users log in to your website?
