BlackRock’s commentary: “Our approach to data privacy and security” articulates its approach to engagement on data privacy and security issues and outlines the types of questions companies may expect to address in an engagement with BlackRock on these topics. While aimed primarily at companies with extensive access to customer data (which are the focus of BlackRock’s data privacy and security engagements), the engagement questions may serve as a helpful internal diligence, self-evaluation, and “housekeeping” management and board oversight tool for all companies that use or rely upon any measurable amount of customer and employee data. The commentary includes recent engagement examples.
