“We’re all going to have to change how we think about data protection.” Elizabeth Denham, UK Information Commissioner

When Elizabeth Denham, the UK Information Commissioner, delivered the above quote at a lecture for the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales in London on 17 January 2017, she was highlighting the requirement for organisations to be accountable for the Personal Data they hold and process. Under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) we all need to up our game!

GDPR is a transformative piece of regulation that applies from 25 May 2018. GDPR enhances current rights and freedoms afforded to EU citizens under the 1995 EU Data Protection Directive (95/46/EC). GDPR gives Supervisory Authorities strengthened powers to take enforcement action on those organisations who fail in their duty to uphold those rights and freedoms. GDPR is a game-changer!
