Collaborating and exchanging data can optimize productivity and reveal unexplored prospects. However, information is often isolated and siloed with limited access to protect it from compromise and to comply with differing regulatory requirements. Experts will share how they have increased both internal and external data collaboration, the lessons they’ve learned, and the partnership opportunities being enabled by PETs.

Digital transformation is essential for government agencies to stay competitive and deliver better services to citizens. But with the increasing amount of data being collected, proper attention to data privacy concerns is crucial to maintain the trust of stakeholders. This talk will explore the challenges and opportunities for promulgating PETs in the public sector, and the role of PETs can fit into organisations’ data engineering strategy. In particular, it will touch on some of the lessons learned in developing a Central Privacy Toolkit, as part of a wider ecosystem of data engineering tools that allow public sector officers to collaborate, share and exploit data while striking the right balance between data-driven innovation and privacy protection.

Either your organisation is in the insights business or aiming to become more data driven, access and sharing of diverse and good quality data is essential. This comes with a range of challenges (Risks) especially if the underlying data entails confidential or personal information but also presents opportunities. By leveraging PETs, not only organisations can mitigate risks associated with privacy compliance and IP/confidentiality but also position themselves as trusted data collaboration partners while increasing sustainability and resilience of their data driven business. PETs vendors must also consider sustainability factors and be open to co-create creative collaboration models with their customers to revolve issues around pricing, dependability and interoperability.

To successfully roll out a new system in an organisation is it essential to ensure its effectiveness and obtain stakeholder buy-in. To get the internal buy-in and ensure effective integration of PETs with existing infrastructure it is essential that all affected stakeholders are involved at the earliest in the solution design discussions.
