AUBURN HILLS ? Kathy Ossian, founder of Ossian Law, will teach a workshop that takes a look at the practical approach to data security laws on Aug. 21 at 9 am at Oakland University.
It is part of the Growing Your Business, Tools For Success Workshop Series.
In the wake of the Target and Neiman Marcus breaches, new data security laws are being introduced at both the federal and state levels. Beyond federal acts that address specific types of data, there are conflicting state data protection and breach notification laws. Compliance can be challenging. Kathy Ossian will navigate through existing laws, analyze pending legislation and offer suggestions on a practical approach towards addressing compliance.
Ossian has 30 years of experience in information technology transactional work and commercial litigation. She represents technology companies, including start-ups, financial institutions, for profit and non-profit organizations in agreements for the distribution and procurement of software, subscription based services, reseller and other distribution arrangements, web development services, maintenance and support and service level agreements. She also drafts terms of use and privacy policies for web sites and mobile apps and counsels clients on legal aspects of social media use, domain name management and other IT related topics.
