About the Course

What does it take to comply with privacy laws? In this course, we’ll look at the practical aspects of navigating the complex landscape of privacy requirements. Better understanding privacy laws and data protection will enable you to protect your organization and the constituents that depend on your organization to safeguard their personal information. First, we will examine the historical context that drove the creation of laws, best practices, and other standards for protecting personal information. We will also consider where in the U.S. privacy laws exist and which sectors remain unregulated. Next, we will focus on the federal health privacy law, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) – and what it takes to comply with it. How do you know the scope of the requirements? And once you know HIPAA applies, how do you actually put measures in place to ensure compliance? We’ll explore the notion that one cannot have privacy without strong security and examine various models that promote the security of personal information. We’ll look closely at breach notification laws – one of the most significant drivers of change in organizations – and discuss strategies for the improvement of data protection overall. Lastly, we will look at international law, state law, the unique and important role of the Federal Trade Commission in protecting privacy. Most importantly, we get practical – we will discuss real-world, practical approaches to how compliance professionals can navigate the complex landscape of privacy requirements to best protect their organizations....

I liked the tutor's approach to abstract and present difficult topic in a simple manner in a way that it was easy to understand.

Very well paced and taught course. This course really piqued my interest in the greater course this is apart of. However, I'm not a fan of peer-reviewed assignments as it won't let you actually complete the course and earn your certificate until someone else comes along to grade your assignment. I'm not sure how frequent peer-reviewed these assignments are so I'm left waiting to earn my certificate without an estimate of when that might be. Bummer, but I have to take a star away. The reading material was linked to trusted third party sites like Forbes which is fine, but just one of the articles was behind a paywall when I went to read it. I was able to glean the key points from the free portion of the article and I don't feel like it set me back. Regardless of that little snag I still prefer real world reading assignments like this, so I can't complain too much.
