Kroll Fraud Solutions Blog – A Dialogue on Data Security

At last week’s IAPP Global Summit, we were excited to be among the attendees who are passionate about their professions and eager to learn what is new. Here are a few topics that made an appearance at this year’s event.

Putting Policy into Practice

Legislative compliance and privacy standards proved to be a top-of-mind concern for many attendees.

Heather Beeler, Product Manager of Kroll’s Fraud Solutions, observed “a general sense of urgency around putting privacy standards and regulations into practice across the board,” from government interests across the globe to the public and private business sector.

It’s my pleasure to post from the IAPP Privacy Summit in Washington DC today, which has also been the scene of today’s announcement by  the Consumer Federation of America (CFA) of its Best Practices for Identity Theft Services report that offers specific industry guidelines designed to protect consumers from misleading claims and promote responsible practices. All of us at Kroll are pleased to see the release of this work, which represents the culmination of some 18 months of effort by consumer advocates and service providers toward this common goal.
