This session is set up as an introduction to (and what you should be doing to comply with!) the key data protection legislation that covers the EU and the UK: the “GDPR”. Starting with some background to what was originally only an EU regulation, we will also discuss what Brexit has meant for data protection in the UK, walk through some key definitions and principles to be aware of, cover data transfers and rights of individuals, before touching on information security and data incident response. The session will also focus on what your companies should be doing now, what we think companies should be looking for post-2021 and other key topics we think you should be aware of.
