Some of my recent insights:
When is a SAR truly ‘excessive’?
But then the ICO taking RM seriously is a pipe dream, so maybe I’m just shouting into the abyss. Who knows!
Data Protection ‘officers’ Day
A DP/IG professional will be one of the most resilient, patient and valuable employees you’ll ever have. We clear up organisational messes, we counsel and support staff, we see all areas of the organisation, we ‘get’ data and the impact it can have (good or bad) and many of us do all this on a shoestring budget.
Reflecting on 2023
My word what a year 2022 has been. Ups, downs, lefts and rights I can safely say I know all the moves to the Time Warp (it’s just a step to the left…).
