Protecting confidential and personal information

The Deloitte Global Confidentiality and Privacy Office helps foster a culture across Deloitte that emphasizes the importance of protecting confidential and personal information. This office sets policies and guidelines, develops procedures, provides consultation and training, and assesses the effectiveness of controls relating to confidentiality and privacy. The Deloitte Global Confidentiality and Privacy Office works with Deloitte Technology, including the Deloitte Global Cybersecurity organization, and the Deloitte Global Office of General Counsel, to understand, prepare for, and respond to known and reasonably anticipated risks and threats facing our environment.

Consistent with industry leading practices for protecting confidential and personal information, Deloitte has taken steps to remain secure, vigilant, and resilient, including:

• Understanding the risk environment;
• Implementing policies, procedures, and controls designed to protect confidential and personal information;
• Responding to potential confidentiality and privacy incidents in a timely manner; and
• Actively monitoring the effectiveness of confidentiality and privacy requirements across the Deloitte organization.

Deloitte is dedicated to complying with applicable privacy laws and regulations around the globe, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Deloitte regularly monitors for changes in privacy laws and regulations, and adjusts policies and procedures when appropriate. Additionally, Deloitte performs an annual review process to verify Deloitte Global’s and member firms’ compliance with our confidentiality and privacy standards.
