[Session 01] Individual Liability for Data Security Failures |
|
| |
The panel of drafting team members will lead a dialogue on its draft Commentary that summarizes and explains what the legal bases currently are, and what as a policy matter the legal bases should be, for holding an individual liable for an entity’s violation of the various legal regimes that impose data security obligations on entities with regard to personal information they collect or maintain. The legal regimes that the draft Commentary addresses include both those that impose such data security obligations expressly (e.g., U.S. federal and state, and non-U.S, statutes and regulations that expressly require “reasonable” or “appropriate” or specified cybersecurity measures) and those that impose such obligations only as a matter of interpretation (e.g., the FTC Act and state UDAP statutes). |

[Session 02] AI Statutory Guidance |

Rev. Stat. §§ 6-1-1301 et seq.) and Colorado AI Law (Col. Rev. Stat. §§ 6-1-1701 et seq.) to be read consistently with one another when a business is using AI in the hiring process. |

[Session 03] Shifting U.S. Federal Regulatory Priorities in the Privacy and Data Security Landscape |
| |
On January 20, 2025, the new presidential administration in the United States issued a “Regulatory Freeze Pending Review” memorandum directing all executive departments and agencies to: 1) pause proposing and issuing new rules, 2) withdraw unpublished rules, and 3) consider postponing the implementation of published rules—all pending the review of a department or agency head appointed by the new administration. Multiple draft and published rules touching on privacy and data security compliance fell within scope of the memorandum. This panel will examine how agencies have responded to the memorandum, the personnel changes, actions, and reviews taken during the first months of the new administration, and the implications for regulated organizations. |

[Session 07] Commentary on Law Firm Data Security, Second Edition |
| |
The panel of drafting team members will lead a dialogue on its draft second edition of the Commentary on Law Firm Data Security ("Commentary"), which accounts for changes in law and technology, omissions in the original product, or newly developed needs for guidance. The original Commentary, published in 2020, includes a discussion of criteria and protocols for assessing data security at law firms and a companion discussion of how organizations should communicate with outside counsel about their data security practices. The Commentary also includes model clauses for engagement letters as well as a sample questionnaire corporate clients could provide to their law firms to assess data security readiness. |
