Last September, the CEOs of four of the biggest tech companies in the U.S. faced the House Antitrust Subcommittee.
At that meeting, the CEOs of Alphabet, Amazon, Apple and Facebook (the only one missing was Microsoft s Satya Nadella) were grilled on a wide range of subjects under the broad umbrella of an anti-trust probe.
Then in October, the CEOs of Facebook, Google and Twitter all faced lawmakers again, this time to defend the legal liability shield that underpins their business models. At the end of February 2021, the judiciary committee s antitrust subcommittee met again to hear testimony from companies and other parties that claim they have been mistreated by the tech giants. And later this month, the bosses of Twitter, Google and Facebook will appear again in front of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, which is looking at the way misinformation is posted and spread by their platforms.

The speed at which the digital workplace is evolving means operating policies and procedures are also in flux. One of the most important of these is data privacy: how to handle the personal, confidential information of customers and employees. Ensuring data privacy in the digital workplace isnât just a nice to have, it is the focus of governments and agencies across the world. In short, it is the law.
And itâs complicated.
Data often lives in silos in the organization with one group focused on data privacy, another on security, yet another on compliance. Throw marketing into the mix and you end up with layers of policies surrounding the same data. Plus, data has different levels of sensitivity as to what is considered private, confidential and in some organizations, classified.
