WEBINAR: Automating Regulatory Compliance with Data Wrangling - 10 December 2019

Data Science Central Webinar Series Event

Automating Regulatory Compliance with Data Wrangling Join us for the latest DSC Webinar on December 10th, 2019 Knowledge workers typically a) get information b) perform logic on that information and c) finally reach a conclusion and can take action. The time to just clean and prepare data for analysis can cause significant bottlenecks and delay the ability to take any action. Automating these series of tasks, mechanizes repetitive and manual tasks. This frees up knowledge workers to focus on more value-added activities. A series of lessons will be shared with a case study from the banking trenches on how to leverage data wrangling to help automate these series of tasks on a use case within Risk Management and reduce a 10,000 hour regulatory process down to 10 hours. In this latest Data Science webinar you will learn: How manual and repetitive tasks are costing organizations trillions of dollars in non-productive work Understand how to drive adoption of new technologies within your organization How assembly line thinking has led to mistakes in the way we approach data pipelines Featured Speakers: Salah Khawaja, Managing Director, Automation Global Risk -- Bank of America Raj Anand, Sr. Vice President, Automation Global Risk -- Bank of America Will Davis, Head of Marketing -- Trifacta Hosted by: Stephanie Glen, Editorial Director -- Data Science Central   Title:  Automating Regulatory Compliance with Data Wrangling Date:  Tuesday, December 10th, 2019 Time:  9 AM - 10 AM PST   Space is limited so please register early: Reserve your Webinar seat now

Complying with Europe’s other data management mandate – MiFID II by Marianna Shafir via @infomgmt

The new regulations affect any organisation that operates or does business with firms that provide investment services in the European economic area.

Something very important that I believe we either don't know about or forget.

Thanks to Facebook, expect GDPR to spread beyond the EU by Lisa Loftis via @InfoMgmt

The strong and immediate reaction to this data misuse incident should serve as a warning shot for all companies collecting and using consumer personal data.

I agree with this article - the GDPR legislation doesn't seem that difficult now if you want to preserve your reputation and survive going forward.  This Facebook disaster should serve as a lesson to other companies as to what could happen to them if they are not careful.

Looming GDPR puts renewed focus on Sarbanes-Oxley compliance by Larry Alton via @infomgmt

SOX is a perfect bridge protocol for organisations undergoing a General Data Protection Regulation compliance audit in preparation for the May 2018 deadline.

Having worked on SOX I can understand the authors comment and the connection. It's certainly a good discipline that can be added to and expanded for GDPR compliance.

How to Collect and Transform Data into Value for Your Business by @ryankhgb via @SmartDataCo

The Age of Data is here and it’s more important than ever to take data into account when managing your business. There’s more data available around the world every year and more customers are sharing information about themselves with businesses.

Some important points in this useful article that at the very least will give you some pointers on what you need to think about.

GDPR could drive sweeping changes in how organisations manage information by Bob Violino via @infomgmt

A new study finds that nearly three in four organisations plan to incentivise employees to improve data hygiene and take accountability for compliance.

This generally points to a need for companies to get their act together and sort this out before they end up in serious trouble.

3 key steps to vet cloud services for GDPR compliance by Robert Cruz via @infomgmt

Organisations must ensure that their service providers satisfy all the mandates of the General Data Protection Regulation or risk noncompliance themselves.

These steps are really useful if you need a little help and guidance of what to do or where to start.

Organisational Complexity Greatest Threat to Cybersecurity, Study Finds by David Weldon via @infomgmt

A new global survey by the Ponemon Institute on IT security infrastructure finds that 83 percent of organisations believe they are most at risk for cyberattack because of organisational complexities.

I lot of important areas that need to be handled in order for data to be secure.

Full Clinical Benefit of Electronic Patient Records In Question via @infomgmt

Full Clinical Benefit of Electronic Patient Records In Question via +Information Management - Greg Slabodkin says while studies on the electronic exchange of health information show some evidence of benefits for healthcare, the full impact of HIE on improving clinical outcomes and avoiding potential harms has been inadequately studied and needs additional research.

This is a US based study and analysis.  From the UK side, there was a project to implement a centralised patient records system but it was cancelled in 2011 after countless delays and escalating costs. I have to say as a UK patient there are several issues that the centralised system could have resolved which I have personal experience of:

• Patient records are currently stored in local data silos and there is no information sharing between them.  I have MRI scans in 2 hospitals in different areas and there is no sharing of that data between them.
• Communication between clinicians seems to be via paper letter, which is scanned in as a document, but there appears to be no OCR applied to it to add meaningful data to the computer system.

There has to be some form of communication - whether that be an interface, a centralised database, or something else.

WEBINAR: Demystify your Data Flows for Better Regulatory Compliance May 19 2015

There’s never been more business data, more data sources – and more data regulation. As a result, financial services firms are forced to divert resources from initiatives that move the business forward to those that keep it compliant.

This one-hour webinar will highlight:

• best practices for balancing data regulation with business growth

• how your company can efficiently provide the increased transparency demanded by regulation

• which new technologies can eliminate the manual, costly, and often error-filled adjustments that result when using spreadsheets and legacy systems.
