CIPS IFIP 60th Event Speakers Panel:
Data Privacy and Digital Governance (Nov 1st)
|
|
Join us on Monday November 1st at 9am ET to kick off CIPS' IT Professionalism Week with the CIPS IFIP 60th Event Speakers Panel discussion on Data Privacy and Digital Governance!
As of 2020 3.8 billion people use the internet for about 6 hrs and 43 mins a day and 74% say that are not aware that their activities and interests are being tracked. 78% also say that they are uncomfortable with lists being generated about them. As technology advances and legislation changes there is increasing need for better and more accessible information on data privacy and digital platform governance.
Responsible Artificial Intelligence Institute (RAII), Better Ethics and Consumer Outcomes Network (BEACON), The International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP), the International Professional Practice Partnership (IP3) and the Canadian Information Processing Society (CIPS) have come together to discuss these concerns.
Each Organization will briefly describe their role and their perspective on the challenge and discuss what they are doing to help advance ethical professional practice.

Building an IT Staffing and Consulting Agency in Canada |
|
via Dasro, a CIPS Corporate Partner
An interview with Kamal Kataria
Born and raised in a remote village in India, Kamal Kataria came to Canada in 2010 to study and begin his career in project management. Working as a project management consultant, he saw a need for a specialized firm that could provide more qualified IT workers to large and mid-sized organizations in Saskatchewan. Capitalizing on this opportunity and answering the call to entrepreneurship he’d felt since childhood, Kamal founded Dasro in 2013 from a rented one-bedroom basement suite in Regina with limited resources, no financial backing, and risking a consulting career that was trending upwards.
Dasro is an IT staffing and consulting agency that aims to connect organizations and professionals. The company believes that there is more to recruitment than simply satisfying a basic list of requirements. By putting great care, time, and effort into getting to know what each employer needs, they ensure that the client-candidate fit is optimal. Not only does this make for better productivity, but retention rates and satisfaction go up for all.
