Privacy and Regulatory Trends Questions

Knowledge of the current and emerging privacy regulatory landscape, enforcement activity, and risk indicators across jurisdictions and industries. Candidates should be familiar with recent high profile enforcement actions and regulatory guidance releases, including trends from the Federal Trade Commission and enforcement under the General Data Protection Regulation in Europe, as well as developments in state level privacy laws in the United States such as Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Montana, Delaware, New Hampshire, and Indiana. Understand emerging regulatory areas including artificial intelligence related privacy requirements, biometrics, employee data, environmental data, and international data transfer debates. Be able to identify patterns and signals in enforcement that reveal regulator priorities, forecast potential compliance risks for an organization, and recommend preparatory measures including policy updates, program governance, vendor controls, privacy by design practices, monitoring and reporting, and cross border data transfer mechanisms. Also include awareness of industry specific regulatory regimes such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act in healthcare and the Gramm Leach Bliley Act in financial services and how these interact with broader privacy trends.
