Paula Miller, Marsh
CA Consumer Privacy Act & Biometric Information Privacy Act
Session #3 3:30 PM - 4:30 PM

California’s newly enacted privacy law is set to become the most stringent and comprehensive piece of data protection legislation in the US. Although the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) doesn’t take effect until January 2020, the bill represents a major development for the privacy rights of US consumers — and for companies that collect, process, or otherwise use their data.
A new paper by Marsh — CCPA: A Paradigm Shift for US Privacy Law — looks at the scope and requirements of the legislation and how it compares with the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation. The briefing also outlines the implications for subject companies and recommends steps that organizations can take now to assess their risk exposures and review and align their insurance coverages.

Paula Miller is the West Region Cyber Growth Leader within Marsh’s Financial and Professional (FINPRO) Specialty practice. In this role, Paula provides training and educational support to colleagues in order to develop sales strategies and engages Marsh cyber resources to serve clients and new business opportunities.

Paula joined Marsh in 2018. Prior to Marsh and since 1999, Paula had served as a financial lines broker and client advisor for regional and national brokerage firms in the SF Bay Area. Her experience includes working with companies in the Technology, Retail/Hospitality, Financial Institution, Real Estate, Healthcare and Renewable Energy industries.

As a broker and client advisor in Cyber insurance, Paula has designed and placed customized program solutions for clients through use of manuscript policy forms and endorsements, gap analysis and predictive loss modeling tools.
