Its been hard to escape GDPR, which comes into force in the UK in less than a year. You will probably have heard about the swinging fines and how challenging GDPR will be for organisations. You might have to appoint a Data Protection Officer, and you will almost certainly have to change the way you go about your business when it comes to handling personal data.

Despite its challenges, GDPR offers up real opportunities. Getting GDPR right will give UK business competitive advantages, increase citizen trust in UK public sector services, and help underpin the UK’s digital economy. We convened a panel of experts, chaired by John Godwin. Director of IA and Compliance at UKCloud, to help you make the most of GDPR. Gilbert Hill, Privacy Technologist and Mark Bailey, Partner at Charles Russell Speechlys were joined by Nicky Stewart, Commercial Director, UKCloud, for a thought provoking and interactive seminar, which was followed by networking drinks.
