Data governance and privacy frameworks: implications for corporate investigations

Wednesday 2 September (1130 - 1230)

Committee(s)

Anti-Corruption Committee (Lead)

Description

This session will examine how evolving data governance and privacy frameworks across Latin America are reshaping the way companies conduct corporate investigations. Panelists will discuss the growing complexity of regional data protection laws, the operational challenges involved in handling personal and sensitive information, and the heightened expectations of regulators regarding data security, retention, and cross‑border transfers. The conversation will also address the practical implications for investigative protocols, including evidence collection, preservation of digital records, employee‑privacy considerations, and cooperation with authorities. Attendees will gain insights into designing compliant, defensible investigation processes that balance regulatory requirements, organizational risk, and the need for operational efficiency in an increasingly data‑driven enforcement environment.
