On 25th May 2018, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) becomes enforceable, introducing a raft of new data protection obligations for organisations and new rights for individuals. Join us to gain a clear and practical understanding of what you need to do to prepare your business and staff for GDPR.
We've partenered up with local data and IT specialists, NW Security Group, to deliver a one off seminar on Tuesday 08th May at our premises in Monsk Ferry, Birkenhead.
One of NW Security Group’s Senior Consultants, Nigel Peers, will guide you through the key provisions of the EU GDPR, discussing how the regulations will affect business and advising on what you can be doing now to prepare for the new legislation. The session covers the key issues for business, including:
