LISTEN IN: Worried about the GDPR? Don't panic!

On 23 May, we hosted a webinar in which our panel discussed the key issues you should focus on at this stage to achieve compliance.

Affecting organisations worldwide, the GDPR, which came into force on 25 May, is a complex and strict law with dozens of obligations that will be fiercely enforced.

With so many myths and misunderstandings around the regulation, knowing what matters or not or where to start is not always straightforward.
