The GDPR will apply in the UK from 25 May 2018. The government has confirmed that the UK’s decision to leave the EU will not affect the commencement of the GDPR.
With this in mind, System I.T, Burnetts Solicitors, Quality Guild and Harrison and Hetherington Insurance Services have joined forces to host a FREE breakfast seminar on Wednesday 11th October, which aims to assist Cumbrian businesses to prepare to meet the requirements of the GDPR ahead of May 2018 and beyond.
- Brian Lightowler from the Quality Guild will start off the event with a presentation to help delegates understand what the GDPR act is and how it will affect businesses after its introduction in May 2018.
- Vaughan Jones from Burnetts will look at the pro-active measures businesses can take including having the right contracts in place, encryption, compliance with the new General Data Protection Regulations, data breaches and liability if the worst happens.
- Stephen Ward from H & H Insurance will discuss the need to have adequate insurance cover for data protection should the need to make a claim arise.
