What is a Business Continuity and why it's important for an organisation to have one. As part of the GDPR & ISO common themes programme Annie McNeely and I talk about this very subject in this episode.
Something to consider is that a Business Continuity plan covers the entire business – processes, assets, personnel and more. It is not just focused on IT and systems.
Why both GDPR and ISO put a strong emphasis on a business having a Business Continuity and how it support a smooth return to Business As Usual (BAU).

Annie Mcneely, an ISO 9001 practitioner, and I will be talking about Risk Management, which is present both in ISO 9001 and GDPR and we want to highlight it's importance.
It features quite often in the GDPR putting obligations on organisations to carry out risk assessments especially when introducing change and in ISO 9001 is about mitigating risks to the business with regards to customer satisfaction and retention.
Risk Management is a good practise that all organisations should have in place which allow them to capture, manage and control risks that a business might face.

In this episode Annie McNeely and I are going to address Change Management and why it plays an important part in any organisations, large or small.
How change management helps an organisation to identify and manage risks and how had the Post Office carried out some key steps would have avoided the pitfalls and prevented over 500 postmasters and postmistresses suffering.
When done correctly change can be of great benefit to an organisation and bring great rewards.

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.
