Julie will offer an attorney's view of policy requirements, looking at best practices and common mistakes in the creation of legally defensible privacy and security policies. In an overview of today's regulatory landscape, rules from HIPAA to GLB, PCI, and state privacy laws will be discussed, as well as the forest of data protection rules, the characteristics of a defensible privacy and security policy, and common policy gaps and mistakes to avoid.
In her daily practice, Julie regularly represents clients on issues pertaining to data privacy, network security, compliance, and complex litigation involving information technology. Her representative clients span across all industries including software companies, architectural firms, financial services firms, retail distributors, and utility companies. She has co-authored numerous articles addressing the legal, financial, and regulatory risks associated with IT compliance. Julie graduated with honors from Texas A&M - Corpus Christi, earning a B.A. in English and received her law degree from The University of Houston Law Center.
