The rapid growth of privacy risks and regulations has created a flurry of hiring, but a confusing mishmash of titles and roles, like chief privacy officer and data protection officer. As these roles develop and diversify, and the governance structures of the teams in which they are housed evolve, misunderstandings about privacy professionals’ responsibilities – and how they should work together – can lead to inefficiencies and even regulatory risk. In this guest article, Reed Smith partner Tyler Thompson and associate Talia Boiangin discuss certain roles within the privacy function, reporting structures and interactions with other stakeholders. They also offer guidance on building a cohesive privacy program. #Privacy #Data #EmTech
