With the first signs of spring appearing we look to fresh starts and new beginnings. With various recent legislative changes, and more to come, now is the time to review and refresh your organisation’s data privacy compliance processes and policies, and ensure that they are up to date.

The Burness Paull Data Privacy team invites you to join them for their Spring data conversation, where, using recent examples, they will discuss topics including:

• Compliance Spring Clean – Carrying out a data protection gap analysis and taking remedial action.
• DPIAs and best practice – How to conduct a data protection impact assessment.
• Data Transfers – Managing international data transfers..

This webinar will be useful for anyone who has responsibility for processing data in their organisation, whether relating to clients, employees or other individuals.

The ScotlandIS Digital Technology Awards showcase excellence within the industry, rewarding the innovation, expertise and ambition of businesses large and small – and the people who drive them.

Let’s highlight some of the great achievements within the tech sector over the last 12 months – nominate your organisation or an individual for the chance to be recognised amongst your peers. 

Running for 13 years, the Awards are well established within our industry, offering winners the opportunity to use our platform to promote your business. Sharing your official winner’s badge on your website and social channels acts as a stamp of credibility and highlights quality standards to potential new clients.

If you have created a product or service that brings benefit to society, you could be eligible for the Tech for Good award, while innovative applications of data to transform businesses could indicate our next Data Trailblazer. If your organisation shows employees they are valued, and goes that extra mile to provide a positive working environment, then you might just have the Best Wellbeing at Work. 

The Digital Tech Business of the Year category looks to recognise start-up’s, scale-up’s and large companies that impress the judges with their outstanding tech, commercial success and growth over the past year. The Unsung Hero award allows you to nominate an individual that does something truly special for the community, such as running code clubs or mentoring, and doesn’t usually get the credit they deserve.

There are a variety of different awards up for grabs that could shine a light on the fantastic work you’ve been doing, and all the criteria for each category is on our website so you can prepare your application answers in advance.

Don’t wait to apply – applications close 22nd February.

Digital Tech 2023 will take place on 18th May, at the Radisson Blu hotel in Glasgow. We look forward to you joining us for a night of food, fun and celebration of the industry.
