GDPR training is a vital component in the quest to protect data. Done right, it can make for an engaging, informative experience that helps to protect people's data and keep your organisation GDPR compliant.
Eleanor Roosevelt once stated that you should "learn from the mistakes of others. You can't live long enough to make them all yourself". This quote resonates with us as we believe that you can learn from every personal data breach that has occurred, regardless of how large or small it is. Every few months we will host a lunch and learn webinar where the focus will be learning from data breaches that have hit the news in the UK and abroad.
On the 2nd February, the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) laid before UK Parliament the International Data Transfer Agreement ("IDTA"), the International Data Transfer Addendum to the EU Standard Contract Clauses ("Addendum") and a document setting out transitional provisions.
Did you know that Accountability underpins the 6 key principles in UK data protection law? It makes you responsible for complying with the legislation and says that you must be able to demonstrate your compliance.
Our first webinar for 2022 will focus on what we believe the data protection challenges will be for the year ahead. Now, more than ever data is the lifeblood of an organisation, whether it contains personal data or not.
At the end of January 2021, we hosted our first webinar of the new year, with a focus on the data protection challenges for the year ahead. To date, this has been viewed more than 250 times!
In our last webinar for 2021, Kellie reflects on how accurate the predictions were and give a sneak preview of what she believes the challenges for 2022 will be. A reminder of the predictions:
On the 10th September 2021, the Department for Digital, Culture, Media, and Sport (DCMS) released its proposal to reforming UK Data Protection laws, called "Data: a new direction". The document included removing the need for Data Protection Officers, records of processing activities, and data protection impact assessments. In its place is a concept of a more flexible, risk-based 'privacy management programme'.

According to the Office for National Statistics, in April 2020, the number of remote workers increased to 46% of the population. Now with the easing of lockdown measures, many businesses are considering or are already implementing what the Financial Times calls a "split model' a.k.a "hybrid working" that divides the time between the home and the office. If home-office working is to become the norm, then organisations need to consider the data protection challenges they will be faced with.
The data protection principles are laid out and explained in Article 5 of the UK GDPR. These principles are the backbone of data protection, outlining the essentials to being compliant with GDPR when handling data, and your approach to processing personal data should be intrinsically tied to these principles.
