Most UK business owners and organisations are familiar with UK GDPR but many won’t have had experience with personal data laws in other countries. We know that the business world holds no limits when it comes to distance and that international data transfers are happening more frequently.
Data breaches are a serious problem in the digital age, and can have far-reaching implications for both individuals and businesses. A data breach is one of the most severe forms of security threat and can lead to information theft, financial damage, and reputational damage.

Data leaks are a serious problem for organisations and individuals. In this day and age, individuals freely provide personal information to organisations, therefore a data leak can have a significant impact on both the company and the person. They often involve the exposure of personal data (such as name, address and financial details), with additional damage to the company or organisation in terms of potential financial loss and reputational damage.
