Last week we conducted a GDPR Workshop in collaboration with the renown solicitors Harrison Clark Rickerbys. For those who may not know GDPR is a new legislation that is being enforced on the whole of Europe on the 25th May 2018. This new legislation aims to change the way organisations handle and process the data of EU citizens, granting them new rights over their personal data.
"I thought the workshop was excellent. It introduced us to a lot more areas of the regulation that we had no idea about. We have got a lot to work on when we get back to the office!"
Collaboratively we covered GDPR without the boring bits or scare tactics, focusing on the whys and hows along with the legal and cyber elements of the new legislation, being enforced on the 25th May 2018. Giving actionable steps for our attendees to take and apply to their own business.
"Very impressed with the workshop. From my personal experience you can get ones that are really boring and watch slides and there are ones where there are lots of facts which is hard to take in. It was nice to have a mix of legal and a lot of common sense talking"
The workshop was led by Steve McGowan our lead consultant on data security and compliance at ATG-IT and Robert Cobley, a partner at Harrison Clark Rickerbys. Both have a vast amount of experience in the IT industry and their combined expertise make them perfect in tackling the key areas of GDPR.
