Most compliance professionals feel overwhelmed by the constant stream of information about their area. New legal developments, new technical stuff to look into and on top of that internal things like new systems and ways of working.

Information overload can hamper a privacy program.

In this episode Jacob H. Larsen speaks to Rie Walle about getting a system to stay up-to-date.

Take aways on making a system for staying current:

1. Find your trusted sources. Be critical.
2. Use the wisdom of the crowd.
3. Opt-out. Be clear about what you do NOT need to know.
4. Put it in a system. Jacob uses a simple Database in Notion, Rie utilizes Excel
5. Focus on the basics
6. THEN specialize
8. Make use of the privacy and compliance network - it's a friendly one
9. Put "studying" in your calendar at least once a week

Data compliance is broken.

- Increasing regulations,
- high public expectations,
- and real business needs

have made the data layer exceedingly complex.

It’s not balanced with its surroundings anymore.

We have to rethink the function and organisation of compliance — and in this podcast we invite you to join that conversation - www.wiredrelations.com/datasustainability
