Information Privacy and Security Breaches: Prevention and Response

Elected officials are the “face” of a city’s commitment to information privacy and security. This class covers what municipal officials “need to know” about information pri¬vacy and security policies including: risk assessment, access controls, security provisions in contracts, disaster recovery / business continuity, workforce training and incident / breach readiness. Class attendees review actual municipal and county information privacy and security breaches. They also learn how to champion for the resources to secure city information and how to designate the city as a HIPAA “hybrid entity.”
