The conference will contextualise the changing regulatory landscape, considering the business impact of the GDPR and DPA (2018) and how it is changing policy and process in practice.

When GDPR came into force in May 2018 it significantly raised the bar of obligation and accountability, ensuring that all organisations who handle personal data adhere to strict regulations around privacy, security and consent. 18 months on from implementation, the conference will consider how data protection procedure has moved on, with insight from frontline practitioners reflecting on how practices within their organisation have changed.

The event will also provide an update from the regulator; exploring regulatory action policy, decision making for fines and penalties, and clarifying some of the most prominent areas of misconception and non-compliance.

Core conference topics include:

•    Key legal issues and obligations
•    Data security and encryption
•    Privacy Impact Assessments
•    Databases, data mapping and classification
•    Privacy by design
•    Practical strategy implementation
