I created this cartoon to celebrate Data Privacy Week, which used to be Data Privacy Day. Despite my poking fun, I think that Data Privacy Week is a great thing, though I wish as much attention were paid to privacy during the rest of the year!

Automating Privacy Incident and Breach Response: An Interview with Andy Lunsford
Privacy law compliance and data breach response involve tasks of great complexity and scale that can quickly overwhelm an organization’s privacy team. Technologies have emerged to automate these tasks, but there are many decisions to make about which tasks to automate and which solutions to use.
I recently had a chance to chat with Andy Lunsford is CEO and Founder of BreachRx, a technology company that automates privacy incident and breach response.
