Data Protection & Privacy Legal Services
Every organisation needs to address data protection, confidentiality, information security, cyber risks, data breaches and freedom of information in their compliance and risk management policies and procedures.
Data protection and cyber issues have proliferated over recent years. Every organisation, regardless of shape and size, needs to address data protection - not only to help manage risk, but also to ensure that the full value of personal data can be realised.
Organisations need to be awake to emerging areas of law and policy that overlap with data protection in areas such as Artificial Intelligence, cyber-resilience, online harms and digital ID.
