Overview

Moderator

Henry Nduka Onyiah

Henry Nduka Onyiah is a consultant whose expertise is in the area of data privacy/protection & information security from the governance, risk and compliance perspective.

For over a decade, he has worked in collaboration with cross-functional teams across complete lifecycles for a portfolio of data privacy/protection & information security related projects within the Europe, Middle East & Africa (EMEA) region to manage stakeholders at senior management level, provide subject matter expertise on data privacy/protection & information security especially from the perspective of privacy by design/default as well as advise on risk and the effectiveness of mitigating controls.

He undertook postgraduate studies in the Information Security Group and the Department of Law & Criminology at the Royal Holloway University of London, England and Aberystwyth University, Wales respectively, in the United Kingdom. He holds and maintains several professional certifications, amongst which include the International Association of Privacy Professional’s (IAPP) Certified Information Privacy Professional/Europe (CIPP/E) & Certified Information Privacy Manager (CIPM) as well as the Information Systems Auditing & Control Association’s (ISACA) Certified Data Privacy Solutions Engineer (CDPSE). He is also involved in advocacy and research involving the analysis of risks to privacy arising from ‘emerging’ technology which aims to highlight issues that may undermine respective legislative and regulatory data privacy/protection frameworks as well as cause harms to the fundamental right to privacy of individuals.

Aside enjoying the company of his wife and son, especially given the improved opportunities to achieve better work-life balance in a post pandemic world, he enjoys struggling to develop the consistency required to reduce his golf handicap as well as reading and travelling. He also actively supports charity work especially within the Province of Bedfordshire in the United Kingdom.
