Description

Almost 18 months since GDPR was introduced, some commentary would suggest that it is holding European companies back in competitive terms.

How is it affecting your company?

This workshop will review GDPR’s impact to date, the approach the courts are taking to cases coming before it under the new legislation and what type of data breaches are causing litigation problems for companies. 

It will also suggest the types of policies and procedures your company can put in place to directly address the issues which have become somewhat of a trend, assist your company avoid a data breach or, where a breach does occur, to mitigate the risk, time, upset and reputational damage. It will also address how to limit or avoid your company’s exposure to monetary damages, should a breach occur and proceed to court.

The workshop will outline how breach reporting requirements are necessary at very level within an organisation, and the reach of GDPR in terms of new technologies – biometrics, high-resolution cameras and, how technology can aid compliance.

Attendance at this workshop is a must for ever company operating in today’s GDPR-controlled operating environment.

This event is free of charge, but booking online is essential.
