Gary Allemann is well known in data management circles for his expertise in data governance and data quality – both key enablers for GDPR and POPIA. Gary’s focus is on the practical, data-management implications of data privacy – helping organisations to implement sound capabilities that allow them to meet legal demands, such as the ability to manage a breach, perform a DPIA, or deliver quality personal data at a practical level. Gary leverages international methodologies from partners such as Collibra and Syncsort and adapts these to meet local PoPIA requirements.

Gary Allemann will be speaking on the following topic:

Accelerating your GDPR compliance effort through data governance

GDPR (and its South African equivalent PoPIA) are often thought of as data security acts only. In fact, both regulations legislate a new approach to governing personal data, focussing on principles including accountability, processing limitations, geographic and other access, data quality as well as security. Companies that leverage data governance accelerators for GDPR will achieve compliance more quickly and at a lower cost and will reap the benefits of a better understanding of their client data landscape.
