Artificial intelligence governance has become a priority for organizations looking to develop or deploy AI solutions responsibly, and it has a significant potential impact for privacy professionals. The concept is often loosely defined within organizations, with many clear only on the fact that they should be doing something with AI governance rather than what they should be doing or how to execute it across their enterprise, products and operations.

ISACA 11/1/2024

The adoption of generative artificial intelligence within enterprises has created an entirely new branch of governance and compliance risk. It has also highlighted the need to revisit and bolster traditional information governance frameworks. Many large organizations are still in the process of establishing robust information governance frameworks for their current environments. Now, they must also address questions about their readiness to manage the impact of Copilot1 and similar generative AI tools. These questions include whether they can uphold appropriate access, use, and management across their IT infrastructure. Additionally, organizations should assess whether new artifacts are being created that could introduce unforeseen regulatory risk. This includes new forms of information that may require disclosure to regulatory authorities under existing obligations.

Despite ongoing legal, strategic and technological strides in reducing the overall burden of e-discovery, privilege continues to demand significant time and resources from legal teams. Because document reviews are time-intensive, many litigation lawyers using technology-assisted review (TAR) to assess relevance are asking whether the “four corners” approach can also be used for privilege calls. This seems efficient, as the same reviewer will be assessing for relevance and privilege during the same pass. However, relevance and privilege raise different considerations, and it is important for legal teams to be aware of them when planning document review workflows.

Between the exponential growth of data volume and variety, the emergence of stringent privacy laws and an ever-changing digital threat landscape, cybersecurity has been thrust to the forefront of critical business decisions – including M&A strategies and valuations. Today, the due diligence phase of M&A (mergers and acquisitions) transactions must scrutinize a target’s cybersecurity posture to avoid the inheritance of unwanted vulnerabilities. However, rather than representing an additional compliance burden, incorporating dynamically-evolving cybersecurity automation techniques into this process can yield a distinct advantage – generating insights to mitigate risk and enrich decision-making.

When a file is deleted, is it really gone for good? Most people likely think so. Digital forensics experts, however, know that ‘delete’ isn’t necessarily synonymous with ‘disappear,’ which can be an important distinction when investigating an incident or compliance issue. A common denominator between these types of matters in both cybersecurity incident response (IR) and e-discovery is that practitioners are often tasked with finding obscure yet critical electronic evidence –and must often recover data that has been deleted. Most rely on standard processes for doing so, and though these common methods have their merits, intensifying demands and challenges in investigations have created a need for new approaches that provide more robust and efficient routes to the restoration of evidence.

Worldwide, more than 130 different jurisdictions have introduced data privacy or data protection laws and regulations, a number that has steadily risen since enactment of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in 2018. Today, most organizations must contend with a variety of these laws, all of which have different sets of requirements and penalties to consider.

The recent Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) Schrems II ruling, which invalidated the longstanding U.S.-EU Privacy Shield framework, has created a wave of uncertainty for the legal industry. Ever since the U.S.-EU Safe Harbor framework was retired in 2015 as a result of Schrems I, lawyers have faced challenges in ensuring the legality of transferring data between the EU and U.S. in multi-national litigation and investigations. For the last five years, Privacy Shield has been central to alleviating that burden.

FTI Consulting's Sonia Cheng discusses.

Businesses unknowingly waste millions of dollars every year in excess or unnecessary e-discovery costs. This includes time-consuming entanglements like storing countless data collections and legal holds spread across dozens of disparate vendors and locations. Legal issues are further convoluted by having relinquished control of every new e-discovery matter to different outside partners, all using varied approaches and tools. In-house oversight can help contain the costs and risks associated with e-discovery. Often, a standardized internal program that manages and limits the use of outside providers can significantly improve overall defensibility and accountability, and in turn, reduce expenses.

As the global political and regulatory climate continues to add pressure to multinational corporations, legal and compliance teams – particularly at financial services institutions – need to prepare for an increase in sanctions risks, internal investigations and regulatory inquiries.
