About Vanessa Henri:
"I work with emerging growth organizations to help them articulate a data governance strategy taking into consideration data privacy, information security, intellectual property, and ethics. I bring value and a competitive edge to data-driven organizations by helping them to manage their legal risks, enhance consumers trust and fast-forward the adoption of disruptive technologies through trust-by-design. I have an extensive experience negotiating and drafting tech agreements with data governance implications (including data acquisition, derivative data management and contracts involving data analytics and anonymization requirements), and enjoy working with entrepreneurs to build contractual structures that reflect their business strategies. I am fascinated by ethical innovation, the economic value of trust, and nurturing purpose-driven organizations.
Organizations reach out to me to understand the legal impacts of their strategy for managing and securing their information assets, which may include trade secrets, intellectual property and personal information, and for advices on how to improve governance, risk management and decision making regarding such informational assets. I also work with organizations on issues of economic cyber-espionage and national security impacts. The organizations I work with are principally in the field of emerging technologies, cybersecurity and data-driven industries, including IIoT.
I am a member of the Quebec Bar Association, a Certified Data Protection Officer ("CDPO") and a Senior Lead Implementor for ISO 27701 (Privacy Information Management System), with a proven track record of helping organizations of all sizes and industries implementing compliance measures for their informational assets, including through privacy-by-design in emerging technologies. I have experience deploying information management systems for organizations of all sizes by drafting policies, procedures and establishing risk management methodologies. I perform risk assessments and audits to prepare organizations for certification or for new compliance obligations, or for pre-market validation requirements.
I speak frequently in conferences and podcasts, and I contribute to blogs, posts and articles on an ongoing basis. I am involved in the cause of women in cybersecurity and entrepreneurship. I've recently been honored as part of Top 20 Cybersecurity Women Canada."
