The Karen Read murder trial gripped the nation with its dramatic allegations—but behind the headlines, it was digital evidence that took center stage. From text metadata to mobile tracking and surveillance video, forensic data shaped both the legal arguments and the media narrative.

In this episode of Data Xposure, host Jenny Hamilton, General Counsel at Exterro sits down with Jeffrey Mayer, Partner at Akerman LLP to unpack what this high-profile case reveals about modern data risk. They explore how preservation missteps, investigative decisions, and public scrutiny can expose gaps—not just in legal teams, but across security and IT as well.

This case is a powerful reminder: when digital evidence goes public, your systems, processes, and people better be in sync.

From ballooning costs to missed evidence, Allan shares how the absence of structured data policies can cripple an organization's ability to respond swiftly and defensibly when an incident strikes.

You’ll learn what separates forensic-ready organizations from those flying blind, why outside experts often struggle to help without the right groundwork, and the tactical steps legal, compliance, and security leaders can take now to avoid chaos later. If your team touches incident response or e-discovery—even occasionally—this is a conversation you can’t afford to miss.

California has just finalized sweeping new privacy regulations—and they cut straight into the daily operations of legal, privacy, and security teams. From automated decision-making tools that now require notice, opt-outs, and appeal rights, to mandatory risk assessments and independent cybersecurity audits, these rules are reshaping how organizations must govern data and technology.

In this episode of Data Xposure – The Podcast for Data Risk Leaders, host Fahad Diwan sits down with Stephen F. Fusco, Data Privacy Officer & Senior Counsel at Danone North America, to unpack what these rules really mean in practice. They explore where businesses are most likely to underestimate their impact, how to stand up “right-sized” compliance programs without stalling innovation, and the concrete steps teams should take this quarter to stay ahead of California’s mandate.

For leaders navigating the intersection of value and vulnerability in data, this conversation offers both urgent clarity and practical next moves.
