Most of the news and conversations around data privacy, security, breaches, and the impact to consumers and businesses is centered around big tech. However, big tech only makes up a small percentage of total businesses and privacy and security is something that has the potential to impact all businesses.
Denise Farnsworth has an incredibly diverse background in privacy, from big tech to small businesses and everything in between. She served as Deputy Data Protection Officer for Facebook, Chief Privacy Officer at Jazz Pharmaceuticals, Lead Privacy Counsel for NetSuite and Head of Legal, Data Privacy and Compliance Officer for Microsoft, and is now CEO and Founder of Inspire! Privacy and Security, a company focused on helping SMBs with privacy challenges.
Denise joins the show to discuss some of her past experience working at Microsoft and Meta during both pre and post GDPR and how she’s transferred those skills and experiences to what she does today. We discuss how privacy impacts small and medium businesses, why they should prioritize privacy, and how Denise’s company helps them operationalize and build out a privacy program.
