In this podcast series, we explore all things cyber, including the legal, regulatory and policy developments that impact corporates around the world. We look at the evolving cyber risk landscape, by speaking to those people who are on the frontline, protecting companies from cyber incidents and shaping the legal and regulatory environment.

In this episode, Cam is joined by Kaman Tsoi, an advisor to boards and a leader in corporate governance advice. Together they cross-examine Privacy Commissioner Carly Kind.

Commissioner Kind takes on her first role in the public sector after a successful career working in human rights law with the UN (spending time in Geneva, New York and London) and then moved into privacy (and the intersection of human rights with technology). She has worked on strategic litigation and privacy policy advice. She is the founding director of the Ada Lovelace Foundation.

In today’s podcast we talk about the privacy reform agenda, the role of the regulatory in strategic enforcement and the efficacy of the notifiable data breach regime.

Today, we shift focus to some of the more challenging themes.

Commissioner Kind is an impressive individual, who brings a very practical approach to the role.

Thanks again for listening. This is Cross Examining Commissioner Kind. Here we go…
