Privacy Files

Privacy by Design


Listen Later

The recent revelation by UnitedHealth Group that the ransomware attack on its subsidiary Change Healthcare exposed the sensitive data of more than 100 million customers is once again bringing scrutiny to how companies manage personal information.

In this episode of Privacy Files, we talk to seasoned privacy professional, Saima Fancy.

Saima is a Senior Privacy Specialist at Ontario Health in Canada.

During the interview, she explains how her approach to "privacy by design" involves working at the intersection of engineering, law and policy, and cybersecurity.

Saima says that one of the challenges privacy professionals face worldwide is the fact that 80% of the world's data is unstructured.

She also discusses what's involved in conducting a privacy impact assessment.

To wrap up the episode, Saima weighs in on smart device technology, AI and digital footprints, and even offers some advice for people considering a career as a privacy professional.

This conversation provides valuable insight on what it takes on the corporate side to protect customers' personal data.
