Start your GDPR plan now… book your place today!

From 25 May 2018, the General Data Protection Regulation legislation will raise the privacy bar on personal data by requiring organisations to locate, understand its purpose and appropriately secure it, no matter where it lives or how it is shared… and the majority of organisations are still completely unaware of GDPR.

Data processors, companies using personal data on behalf of others, will have specific legal obligations to maintain records of personal data and processing activities. You’ll now be required to notify the ICO, within 72 hours of a data breach where it is likely to result in a risk to the rights and freedoms of individuals.

Please come and join the team from Lugo for breakfast followed by a constructive half day seminar where you’ll hear from industry leaders and GDPR specialists. You’ll come away with the tools to enable your data protection compliance over the coming months.

Friday 1st December, The Village Hotel Edinburgh. £25. Full details here.

The cost to business of poor practice in this area goes above and beyond any fine the ICO can impose. Losing your customers’ trust could be terminal for your reputation and for your organisation.

Don’t wait or take a reactive approach to your GDPR preparations, not least because the ICO will have the power to fine companies up to twenty million Euros or four per cent of a company’s total annual worldwide turnover for the preceding year.
