Data Privacy information

What is the difference between Data Privacy vs Data Security?

AspectData PrivacyData Security
FocusProtecting personal and sensitive information from misuse and ensuring compliance with privacy lawsSafeguarding data from unauthorized access, breaches, and cyber threats
CredentialsPrivacy certifications (e.g., CIPP, CIPM), knowledge of privacy lawsSecurity certifications (e.g., CISSP, CISM), technical security skills
Work EnvironmentLegal, compliance, and policy-driven roles within organizationsIT, cybersecurity teams, technical environments

Data Privacy focuses on protecting personal information and ensuring compliance with privacy regulations, while Data Security emphasizes technical measures to prevent unauthorized data access. Both roles are essential for comprehensive data protection but differ in their primary objectives and skill sets.

What is data privacy?

Data privacy refers to the protection of personal or sensitive information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. It involves implementing policies, procedures, and technologies to ensure that individuals’ data is collected, stored, and processed in compliance with relevant laws and regulations. Data privacy professionals help organizations mitigate risks, maintain customer trust, and avoid legal penalties by ensuring proper handling of data. This field is especially important in industries that handle large volumes of personal information, such as healthcare, finance, and technology.

What are some common challenges faced by professionals working in data privacy roles?

Professionals in data privacy roles often encounter challenges such as keeping up with rapidly changing regulations, ensuring organization-wide compliance, and balancing data protection with business needs. They frequently collaborate with IT, legal, and business teams to develop and implement privacy policies, manage data subject requests, and respond to potential data breaches. Staying informed about new technologies and emerging threats is also essential, making continuous learning a key part of the role.

What Are Data Privacy Jobs?

Data privacy jobs focus on helping a company manage and protect information. This has two primary focuses: company information and customer information. In these roles, you may study industry sources to evaluate potential risks, help ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations, and determine the best response to any violation of these rules. Data privacy jobs often involve using encryption to manage and store sensitive information, determining when or if to share information with others, and creating company policies to help ensure employees do not inadvertently violate privacy protection laws. Some industries—most notably healthcare—have additional data privacy requirements that you may be responsible for enforcing.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Data Privacy professional, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Data Privacy professional, you need strong knowledge of data protection laws (like GDPR and CCPA), risk assessment, and compliance best practices, often supported by a relevant degree or certifications such as CIPP or CIPM. Familiarity with privacy management tools, data classification systems, and legal research databases is typically required. Attention to detail, ethical judgment, and effective communication are key soft skills for managing sensitive information and educating stakeholders. These skills ensure organizations remain compliant, protect customer trust, and mitigate the risks of data breaches.

This role is based in our Portland, ME office on a hybrid schedule with 2 days per week on-site. For candidates not located within a commutable distance to our office, Diversified may choose to consider remote work options.
ABOUT THE ROLE
As our Cybersecurity and Privacy Manager, you'll own the strategy and day-to-day execution of the information security and data privacy program that protects a global portfolio of live events and media brands. You'll work closely with the VP of Technology & Security and collaborate across IT, legal, and business teams, giving you both the executive visibility and the cross-functional reach to drive real impact. This is a rare opportunity to lead with both technical depth and human-centered purpose at a company where your work directly safeguards the communities we serve.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
  • Security Program Leadership: Develop and manage the enterprise information security strategy, framework, and roadmap - including controls, policies, standards, and procedures across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments.
  • Incident Response & Resilience: Lead incident response efforts and keep disaster recovery and business continuity plans current; coordinate with third-party vendors, forensic investigators, and internal stakeholders when it matters most.
  • Threat & Vulnerability Management: Oversee vulnerability assessments, penetration testing, risk assessments, and security audits; monitor the evolving threat landscape and present regular program efficacy reports to senior leadership.
  • Privacy Program Management: Build and maintain the organization's privacy controls, policies, and procedures; manage data subject access requests and privacy incidents; and stay ahead of changes in regulations like GDPR, HIPAA, and applicable state privacy laws.
  • Vendor & Budget Oversight: Manage relationships with security and privacy vendors, negotiate contracts and SLAs, and steward the program budget - identifying cost-saving opportunities without compromising protection.
  • Security Infrastructure Management: Oversee and optimize the security technology stack, including firewalls, IDS/IPS, SIEM, and endpoint protection platforms.
  • Team Leadership & Awareness: Directly manage and mentor the IT Security and Privacy Analyst, set clear objectives, support professional development, and build security awareness training programs that resonate with employees across the organization.

WHAT YOU'LL BRING
  • Experience & Leadership: 5+ years of progressive information security or cybersecurity experience, including at least 2 years in a supervisory or leadership role, with a track record of building and maturing security programs.
  • Technical Depth: Advanced knowledge of Microsoft Azure and Microsoft 365, identity and access management, network security principles, SIEM, IDS/IPS, endpoint protection, and vulnerability assessment and penetration testing tools.
  • Cloud & Modern Security Practices: Familiarity with multi-cloud environments, Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) tools, DevSecOps practices, secure SDLC principles, and AI/ML security concepts including prompt injection risks.
  • Privacy & Compliance Knowledge: Intermediate-to-advanced understanding of privacy legislation and regulatory frameworks - including GDPR, HIPAA, and state privacy laws - with experience evaluating vendor contracts and managing data subject requests.
  • Frameworks & Certifications: Familiarity with one or more frameworks like NIST CSF, ISO 27001, and CIS Controls; certifications such as CISSP, CISM, CIPP, or CRISC are preferred
  • Communication & Influence: Strong written and verbal communication skills, with a proven ability to translate complex security topics for non-technical audiences and present confidently to senior leadership.
  • Judgment & Confidentiality: Sound analytical and problem-solving instincts, the ability to manage competing priorities, and the discretion to handle sensitive issues with appropriate care.

TRAVEL
This role includes occasional travel to support on-site technology needs at Diversified events and other business opportunities.
WHY DIVERSIFIED?
  • Work Environment: We offer the flexibility to work fully remote or enjoy a hybrid work schedule. Let our culture speak for itself.
  • Work-Life Balance: Generous paid time off programs including vacation, sick leave and paid family and medical leave.
  • Training & Development: From training conferences to professional development seminars, we invest in resources, including LinkedIn Learning for all staff, that empower employees to excel in their careers.

We are dedicated to creating, promoting, and nurturing a safe & inclusive work environment and we expect the same from each of our employees. We value diverse talents and welcome individuals with unique backgrounds, working styles, and skillsets.
