Panel Discussion: Protiviti Hosts Forum on the Future of Money and Privacy

Privacy and security are becoming business essentials, not just technical concerns. As privacy laws expand, consumer expectations rise, and AI introduces both new possibilities and new risks, organizations need programs that are strategic, customer-focused and grounded in real business needs. The strongest approach is to translate technical risk into clear business impact, speak the language of the C-suite and board, and work closely with legal and compliance teams. Just as important, privacy choices should be simple, transparent and easy for people to use. Avoiding dark patterns, using privacy impact assessments to evaluate data flows and model training, and automating controls where possible can help teams stay ahead of change. With data minimization, trust and strong governance at the center, privacy and security work best when they are built in from the start.

Key Takeaways:

• Senior leaders care most about business, customer, revenue and trust impact.
• Consumer privacy controls should be simple, seamless and transparent.
• AI requires careful governance and privacy impact assessments.
• Data minimization and automation are essential to modern privacy and security programs.
