Throughout 2014, several leading global companies and organisations’ data security systems were hacked and data security breaches dominated most mainstream media headlines. To date, national governments have been working vigorously to find the pragmatic and win-win workable solution. Data breaches may be originated by insiders of companies and organisations and occasionally, by external parties, beyond borders and jurisdictions. Against this landscape, the Kuala Lumpur Regional Centre for Arbitration (KLRCA) aim to gauge holistic data breaches and disputes resolution perspectives from leading global data protection and privacy specialists. This 2-hour talk provides comprehensive overview on mediating data breaches and disputes from different jurisdictions: ASEAN (Malaysia & Singapore), Asia-Pacific and Europe. Broadly, the speakers will share selected data breach scenarios and how different data users (data controllers) and data processors resolve these by way of mediation, instead of, litigation. In essence, the speakers will contextualise different breach scenarios and offer practical guidance on how to mediate and resolve. The breaches and disputes may involve: Data users (controllers) and data processors; Data processors and sub-data processors; Data users (controllers), data processors and, in the presence of the Data Protection Authorities or Sector Specific Regulators (as the Mediator).
