Rich Hale

By Adam TurteltaubThe challenge of complying with data protection laws is growing more complex, with US states increasingly having their own laws or considering adopting them. This had led many to call for one national data privacy law for the US.Rich Hale, Chief Technology Officer, ActiveNav hopes that a national law emerges that identifies and normalizes the common threads in the various state requirements. Until then compliance needs to draw out those threads, itself, and provide clear advice on core requirements.Compliance teams, he advises, also need to resist the temptation to boil the ocean and try to solve all the challenges at once. Instead, as elsewhere, it is better to identify and prioritize the risks. Then, work in partnership with operations to implement effective mitigation plans.One key area to focus on is identifying what data the organization has and the justification for holding it, including understanding where the data is being used. That is often easier said than done, since many organizations do not have a full appreciation of all the uses of the data. Finding that information, he reports, is both a top-down and bottom-up exercise.Here, too, prioritization is critical. You need to determine where the data is used most actively, including the unstructured data.Listen in to learn more about how to get a better handle on your data in the face of regulatory complexity.

Chief Technology Officer of ActiveNav Rich Hale takes us through his career aspirations of board game designer (one he has yet to realize), through his experience with the Royal Air Force to the commercial sector where his firm works to secure dark data. During his time in the Air Force, Rich was fortunate to serve on a wide range of different platforms from training aircraft to bombers, and all the way into procurement and policy. Transitioning to the commercial sector, Rich notes he was well prepared for some aspects, but lacking in some he's made up on his own. Rich likes to lead with vision and empower his teams. He counsels that you should not fear making a career change, but be sure to look twice before making the leap. We thank Rich for sharing his story with us.
