2131: Talend: Disjointed Data Privacy Regulations – What's Next for Data?

I recently came across the Talend Data Health Barometer, and one of the highlights of the report is that 97% of the respondents face challenges in using data. So I invited Nick Vigier, CISO at Talend, on the podcast to learn more about the research and explore the complex regulatory landscape, how it's evolving, and how organizations can navigate accelerated technological change to find their way through the data privacy quagmire.

We discuss how many areas of the industry have been focusing on the wrong problem and how it's not about moving data from point A to point B. By contrast, we talk about why companies need to drive data health to enable data-driven business decisions with confidence that ultimately lead to successful business outcomes.

Every company needs documented, universal standards on the quality, accessibility, and security of its data. We talk about how this helps the entire business reach a shared understanding of their data's reliability and accuracy. Once data standards are established, getting a pulse on the health of any business will be much easier.

We also discuss whether data sovereignty is outdated or the last hurdle in the life cycle of the privacy policy and how it could open an opportunity to refer to the establishing data excellence use case where data governance plays a central role.
