Data Protection: Current awareness issues for businesses
What are the key issues facing businesses and what protections can be put in place to avoid breaches? Barry Stanton, Emma O’Connor, and Amir Kousari discuss.
Despite the challenges to business over the last 18 months, the pace at which data protection issues are developing has not abated.
From internal data transfers, transfers overseas or business to business, how we collect, store and protect employee and customer data becomes ever more sophisticated. Barry Stanton, Partner, Emma O’Connor, Director and Amir Kousari, Senior Associate, are hosting this webinar which looks at data protection issues from an employment and commercial perspective.
