Compliance Director of Oktava Capital Olena Kolchenogova joined the business brunch “BUSINESS. RESPONSIBILITY. REVIVAL” — a platform for dialogue between entrepreneurs, top managers and experts who are looking for solutions that work even in the most difficult times.
She dedicated her report to the topic of personal data protection — not just a legal obligation, but an important asset and a point of trust between business and people.
Today, when digital security is part of national security, the issue of transparent processing of customer, partner and employee data has become critical.
Olena Kolchenogova told:
— why personal data is the new currency of trust,
— how to avoid typical mistakes (excessive collection, formal policies, template agreements),
— what a business needs to comply with GDPR and Ukrainian legislation,
— how to protect data technically and organizationally,
— and why competent compliance is a competitive advantage, not bureaucracy.
One of the main messages of the meeting: compliance is about responsibility and reputation. And also — about business readiness for the future.
Even in wartime, Ukrainian business has a chance to build processes according to the best standards. And this is a worthwhile investment.
