Why such a fuss?
Why is Data Protection such a fuss? That is exactly what this podcast aims to unravel and the reason for the title ‘why such a fuss?’ There is so much information out there and most of it is misleading. Education on the subject is the first step, ‘You don’t know what you don’t know’. There is no such thing as GDPR-compliant data or software. It’s the purpose and how it’s been used that makes it compliant. Knowledge is power, strengthen a business reputation and provides a competitive advantage. It aids informative decisions making, operating within a robust framework, application of Protection by Design thinking and fostering a mature culture. This enables business growth, increase in revenue, and build trust with clients. We will have regular guests who are experts in their own fields, we will explore close synergy with those fields and Data Protection, real case studies and we will also bring you the latest news in ‘In the News’ episodes.
