Do you know how GDPR will affect your Marketing Department? If your business uses email marketing, sends direct mail or makes sales calls, the layw is changing what you can and can’t do. 
Some things you might do today will no longer be allowed. It’s tempting to think “I’ll deal with it in May”. But there’s some easy things you should do right now, which mean you won’t run into trouble later.

Don’t panic! It’s not too late to get ready, as long as you start now.
Your HR department will be crucial to preparing your business to comply with the new GDPR in regard to data held on employees, contractors, volunteers and job applicants.
 
<H2>Cyber Essentials & GDPR Expert </H2>
 
The Government-backed Cyber Essentials accreditation provides a comprehensive set of guidelines that, when followed, provide the best outcome to reducing the risk to any business.
GDPR isn't just for big businesses – a gym that offers a members’ loyalty scheme or a one-person chiropractor that asks patients to complete a wellbeing form will have to ensure that personal data is stored in line with the new regulations and not breach them.
 
Registration with Tea, Coffee & nibbles will start from 5pm with the first presentation starting at 5.30pm. We expect the event to wrap up for 7.30pm - Just in time to head home for dinner.
