Privacy by Design: The Road to ISO with Ann Cavoukian and Katryna Dow

Let's talk about digital identity with Oscar Santolalla, Ann Cavoukian and Katryna Dow. In this latest episode within the Identity Story Series, Ann Cavoukian, creator of Privacy by Design and Katryna Dow, CEO at Meeco, join Oscar to explore the road to becoming ISO 31700 for Privacy by Design. They discuss the importance of Privacy by Design and how it can help organisations protect their customers' personal data and comply with data protection regulations and the impact of Privacy by Design becoming an ISO Standard. “If you don't have a strong foundation of security from end to end with full lifecycle protection, you're not going to have any privacy.” ~ Ann Cavoukian Dr Ann Cavoukian is recognised as one of the world’s leading privacy experts. Dr Cavoukian served an unprecedented three terms as the Information & Privacy Commissioner of Ontario, Canada. There she created Privacy by Design, a framework that seeks to proactively embed privacy into the design specifications of information technologies, networked infrastructure and business practices, thereby achieving the strongest protection possible. In 2010, International Privacy Regulators unanimously passed a Resolution recognising Privacy by Design as an International Standard. Since then, PbD has been translated into 40 languages! In 2018, PbD was included in a sweeping new law in the EU: the General Data Protection Regulation. Dr Cavoukian is now the Executive Director of the Global Privacy & Security by Design Centre. She is also a Senior Fellow of the Ted Rogers Leadership Centre at Ryerson University, and a Faculty Fellow of the Centre for Law, Science & Innovation at the Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law at Arizona State University.

Katryna has been pioneering personal data rights since 2002, when she envisioned a time when personal sovereignty, identity and contextual privacy would be as important as being connected. Now within the context of GDPR and Open Banking, distributed ledger, cloud, AI and IoT have converged to make Meeco both possible and necessary. Find out more about Meeco at meeco.me. For the past three years, Katryna has been named as one of the Top 100 Identity Influencers. She is the co-author of the blockchain identity paper ‘Immutable Me’ and co-author/co-architect of Meeco’s distributed ledger solution and technical White Paper on Zero Knowledge Proofs for Access, Control, Delegation and Consent of Identity and Personal Data.
