Fearless Marketing Strategies for a GDPR WorldPerkuto
Slide deck for Perkuto's Fearless Marketing Strategies for a GDPR World webinar held on March 1, 2018.
The webinar was presented by Michelle Miles, VP of Consulting Services and Lindsay Khan, Senior Consultant at Perkuto.
It covered areas such as "consent" and what it means for your marketing communications and privacy policy, the impact of GDPR on the marketing technologies you use every day - including cookie usage, profiling, and lead scoring practices - and what campaigns you should be running now as well as how your communications must change once GDPR goes into effect.
The EU’s GDPR is the first major overall of data privacy requirements in the EU since the 1990s and is effective May 25, 2018. The GDPR is more than a regulation; it is a way of integrating data privacy and information security into day-to-day operations. This session will use case studies to bring alive the key issues to be addressed and best practices to address them whether in the EU or not.
Learning Objectives:
1: Understand that the GDPR contains significant food for thought.
2: Learn how organizations can build on previous compliance and policy efforts.
3: Understand why doing business in Europe post-GPDR requires planning and privacy initiatives.

One year later… Revisiting the GDPR and what it means for the cloudOVHcloud
In 2018, the GDPR transformed the way we think about customer data. Today, Grégory Gitsels and Alban Schmutz look at how these regulations have affected OVHcloud, and helped usher in the next development in how we transfer, store and protect our customers’ data, while maintaining full transparency and reversability.
The document discusses the upcoming General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) that take effect on May 25th, 2018. It notes that GDPR builds upon existing data protection rules and aims to achieve privacy by design and default. Under GDPR, organizations will need to have a legal basis for processing personal data, provide transparency about how data is used, respect individuals' rights, and could face severe penalties for non-compliance. The document advises taking a granular approach to consent and ensuring privacy policies are updated to comply with GDPR requirements by the deadline.
Regulation, transformation, and conversation will shape the delivery of financial services in 2018 according to this document. Regulation will continue to be a major focus as firms adapt to new rules like MiFID II and GDPR. Technology will help firms address regulatory compliance challenges and drive innovation. Transformation will see a focus on better client outcomes and value through new technologies like blockchain, smart contracts, and data insights. Conversation will rise through hybrid advice models using bots, AI, and new channels alongside preserving face-to-face engagement.
Presented by Benet Boix, Netquest and Pinar Yildirim, The Wharton School as part of the Quantitative Research in 2021 event with NewMR.org.

Sia Partners IP on Regulation "Best Interest"Daniel Connor
Regulation Best Interest is a new SEC rule that enhances the standard of conduct for broker-dealers. It requires broker-dealers to act in the best interest of retail clients by disclosing conflicts of interest, providing a new client relationship summary form, and complying with care, disclosure, and compliance obligations. The rule aims to increase transparency and protect retail investors. It goes into effect on June 30, 2020 and will require significant changes across the financial advice industry.
Office of Foreign Assets Control & Sanctions 2019 Changes Daniel Connor
The document summarizes changes to the U.S. sanctions program in 2019, including additional sanctions imposed on Venezuela, Iran, Russia, North Korea, and Cuba. Key changes include lifting restrictions on lawsuits over confiscated Cuban property, increasing sanctions on Iran by ending oil waivers for some countries, and adding more Venezuelan and Russian individuals and entities to the Specially Designated Nationals list. The Office of Foreign Assets Control also published new guidance on compliance commitments and increased penalties through enforcement actions.
Libor transition Taking Action in an Uncertain Environment Daniel Connor
The document discusses the transition away from LIBOR as a benchmark interest rate to alternative rates like SOFR by the end of 2021. It outlines the large scale of the transition given LIBOR's use in contracts and derivatives worth hundreds of trillions of dollars. While SOFR has been designated as the replacement for USD LIBOR, there are still uncertainties around SOFR that organizations need to prepare for. The document recommends that organizations identify their current LIBOR exposure, determine replacement rates, modify contracts to reflect new rates, and make necessary changes to systems and processes. It emphasizes the importance of taking action now despite uncertainties to have sufficient time to manage the transition.
The proposed regulations from the IRS and Treasury Department provide significant relief from FATCA compliance burdens. Key changes include eliminating withholding on gross proceeds from sales of U.S. securities, clarifying what constitutes an "investment entity", deferring withholding requirements on foreign pass-through payments, and revising the treatment of "hold mail" instructions under FATCA. Taxpayers can rely on parts of the proposed regulations, while other parts require waiting for final regulations.
This paper discusses the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority's (FINRA) 2019 examination priorities for its member firms (predominantly broker-dealers) and provides guidance on how to best prepare. The priorities are driven to a large extent by FINRA's 2018 examination findings.
NY State Dept of Financial Services Part 504 Daniel Connor
This document discusses observations and recommendations regarding compliance with Part 504 regulations for transaction monitoring and filtering programs at banks. It notes deficiencies seen at banks in their risk assessments, screening systems, independent testing, change management, and data validation. Recommendations are provided such as implementing a clearly defined risk assessment methodology, utilizing artificial intelligence to reduce false positives, conducting periodic independent testing, documenting a change management policy, and validating the integrity and quality of data used in monitoring and filtering systems.
Canada - Money Laundering Risk & Controls in Canadian Casinos Daniel Connor
The document summarizes a report on money laundering in British Columbia casinos. Between 2010-2016, $650 million in suspicious transactions flowed through BC casinos. The report found casinos unintentionally served as "laundromats" for organized crime groups laundering money from drug operations. It issued 48 recommendations for improving casino regulation and anti-money laundering controls in BC.
California Consumer Protection Act - Insight from Sia Partners Daniel Connor
The document discusses the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), comparing it to the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Some key points:
- The CCPA aims to give California residents greater control over their personal data and impose requirements on companies that collect this information, similar to GDPR.
- It provides new privacy rights like access to personal data and opting out of data sales. Companies over $25M in revenue that collect data on over 50,000 Californians are affected.
- While CCPA and GDPR share similarities, compliance with one does not guarantee compliance with the other due to differences in things like governance frameworks and consent rules.
California Consumer Protection Act - Insight from Sia Partners Daniel Connor
This Insight article describes the requirements of the new law applicable to California residents as well as comparing it to the new European standards in GDPR.
The document discusses money laundering risks related to hedge funds and proposed regulations for anti-money laundering compliance programs. It notes that while hedge funds can be exploited for money laundering, there is little data on the actual amount laundered through them. It summarizes proposed regulations that would require investment advisors to hedge funds to establish anti-money laundering programs and report suspicious activity. The regulations are aimed at increasing oversight of private wealth funding sources that have grown in importance for hedge funds.
