Daniel Costantino, from ITDATA, highlighted the benefits organizations will receive from implementing risk management and incident response plans. He also spoke about the importance of following proper due diligence and due care from a security perspective. “Performing due diligence is not enough.

  • Employment agreements should be tailored to the situation. There is no standard document that should be used.
  • Use the Interactive Process when considering reasonable accommodations. Analyze job functions and the employee’s limitations.
