Following the appointment of John Edwards as the new Information Commissioner we are expecting changes in strategy, direction, guidelines, rules and regulations that impact on data protection, the UK-GDPR and the UK-PECR.

We are keeping a close eye on changes and will incorporate them into our data protection related courses as the appear

Whilst most of the headline news around GDPR/PECR relates to data breaches analysis of action and fines by the Information Commissioners Office (ICO) shows that most breaches are down to human error; poor understanding of data protection laws and poor practice; bad judgments and naivety remain the most common drivers behind breaches.

It is imperative that management and data protection teams keep up to date with the all the changes as they occur. Embed them in their policies and procedures and cascade to staff.

Regular update training for all is a low cost way to stay compliant and avoid the huge fines that apply in the event of GDPR/PECR breaches.
