Data Protection reform: Mystic Meg or Septic Peg?
Overall, it’s neither a good or bad thing in my opinion. There are some good things in there, they are also some things that, depending on the wording of the proposed bill, could send Data Protection in the UK back to a 1998 act level.
Is the Power of 3 in trouble?
The Government is clearly out for what they see as ‘red tape’. I suspect, and this is a personal opinion here, that no argument on the benefit of something like ROPA will get past their Brexit stuff ears. Therefore I strongly suspect Article 30, as we know it today, in the UK is likely to not exist for too much longer.
Beware, Beware, Ransomware!
That is an interesting approach and one that I think I agree with. When GDPR came in there was a lot of noise and guidance around many thing, including Cyber Security. So to not have effective controls in place from the 25th May 2018, or to not have a risk management strategy in place for where controls can’t be put in place, does make it a fair point to raise (in my opinion).
