GDPR Webcasts

The European Union (EU) General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) enters into force in May 2018. It governs processing of personal information, triggers severe penalties and affects all companies that operate in EU markets.

Single pass processes were usually enough for most of compliance projects, but not for GDPR as it implies stricter, more extensive and much more frequent requests for data – potentially coming on a mass scale. Therefore, GDPR is a real driver for adaptation of long-term and multi-value platforms and tools as well as wider strategies. A GDPR project is a perfect catalyst toward establishing a common data model for customer data, evolving further into a broader effort on enterprise data as a service, to support the speed and scale at which customer-facing functions will have to operate, to be competitive.

Defining the scope of GDPR and the necessary preparations to be undertaken, are at this moment, areas where enterprises lack knowledge, especially in the areas of data management, and data and application services governance. In this session we will present the list of such activities and projects, their order and their reference architecture: setting up a dynamic platform for automatically finding, deleting or reporting GDPR records and data, creating a single GDPR view of customers, Identification and management of data flows, loading into a catalog and classifying metadata about identified data elements relevant for GDPR, tracing data flows with data elements and providing answers about which data elements are used in which business process, building a glossary of sensitive data, establishing control with policies and rules, with workflow to monitor data proliferation, extending capabilities of existing applications by modeling process interactions, with other applications or user-channels.

Oracle Integration platform tools such are Oracle Enterprise Metadata Manager, Oracle Enterprise Data Quality, Oracle Data Integrator, Oracle Service Oriented Architecture, Oracle API Platform, Oracle Business Process Management and their associated cloud services, can help to accelerate the GDPR’s preventive and detective controls. The data repositories created by these tools contain personal data and therefore must be protected using the Oracle security solutions presented in earlier webcasts.

Over the past webcasts from May to October, we covered the broad scope of GDPR needs and requirements, and the range of Oracle Solutions than can be used to address it.

In this webcast, we will show a very practical and pragmatic approach how you can raise the quality of security of your database estate in pursuit of GDPR article 32: Security of Processing.

We believe this is a foundational piece that is achievable by the enforcement date, in parallel with creating a Record of Processing and making provision for handling Data-Subject requests. More specifically, we will look at the Most Common Mistakes we have seen among customers when it comes to setting up and managing Database security. We will explain how these MCMs can be addressed and look closer at some likely customer scenarios.

Note: this is the webcast that was originally planned for Nov 6th.

It is only 6 months from now until the EU general data protection regulation (GDPR) comes into force. In this webcast we will review the key elements of the GDPR and then we’ll listen how UBI Banca, one of the major Italian banking group, is addressing GDPR requirements for existing on-premise applications and for new cloud services.

UBI Bank will share its strategy for creating an adaptive and comprehensive security model with Oracle's identity security operation center (SOC) framework. Hear how UBI addressed its GDPR requirements with a set of integrated technologies from Oracle, and ensured compliance with new European regulations. Also learn how structured data is protected by default in the architecture. The identity SOC framework is the foundation of UBI's secure cloud adoption process, monitoring all cloud environments with Oracle CASB Cloud Service and controlling access with Oracle Identity Cloud Service.

Most organizations understand the critical need to secure their databases, but may not be aware of their vulnerabilities or what type of data, including personal and sensitive data, they may have. In this webcast learn how the Database Security Assessment Tool (DBSAT) gives you a quick start to help discover sensitive and personal data, identify database users and their entitlements, review compliance with security policies in place, and quickly help you identify the security risks. DBSAT also gives you suggestions on how to mitigate its findings. DBSAT highlights configuration and operational security risks, and recommends changes to reduce risk in easy to read reports that can be used to understand how in(secure) your database is, support your Database Security strategy and/or support Data Privacy Impact Assessments (DPIA).
DBSAT is a free tool available to all Oracle customers designed to enable you to quickly find sensitive and personal data, evaluate your Database Security posture, identify gaps, and implement the recommended security best practices for your organization. DBSAT is also used by Oracle consultants worldwide while executing Database Security Assessments.


Start today! Knowing where your personal data is, and how the database is configured is the foundation for GDPR compliance.

The GDPR requires organisations to run a good quality IT environment. There is a need to ensure the appropriate availability and resilience of processing systems and the need to test and assess the organisational and technical measures that underpin the processing of personal data.
This webcast will outline what the GDPR says in these respects, and go on to describe the Oracle Management solutions and their benefits in helping address your GDPR needs.

Discover the power of Oracle security solutions – learn how they may help address GDPR

Learn about the powerful security capabilities of Oracle solutions. Join our webcast to see how to:

1. Learn about the scope of GDPR and whether it applies to you
2. Find out about specific Oracle solutions that may be able to help
3. Discover ways to simplify the path to compliance for your business

In this session, we will provide an overview of existing GDPR implementations at Oracle customers across EMEA, starting with a presentation from NOS in Portugal, an Oracle customer in the Telecommunications market, who will talk about GDPR and NOS databases, the challenges introduced by this regulation and how they were addressed. You will be able to ask questions via chat, which will be answered at the end of the webcast live via audio.

Privacy is here to stay and becoming the ‘normality of Operation’. GDPR is the important part of the Privacy Mix. In this presentation Paul will highlight from the applications perspective areas that Oracle and its customers have and should consider on our GDPR Journey.

In this last GDPR webcast before the regulation comes into force on 25-May-2018, we will provide an overview of all the topics we covered over the past year in this monthly series. We will explain what content to find in each webcast (which is sometimes a bit difficult to tell from the title), to make it easier for you to navigate to the information you are really looking for.

Apart from webcast content, we will also provide navigational guidance on GDPR related publications, papers and eBooks from Oracle, and where to find them. At the end, as usual, there will be a live audio Q&A session, in which previous webcast presenters will join to answer your questions: Alessandro Vallega, Patrick McLaughlin and Andrea Zengin.

All previous webcasts, including this one, are of course also accessible ‘on-demand’, in case you miss the live date.

Register here to attend “Navigate the GDPR with Oracle”, live on May 22nd, 11am CEST.
