Course overview

The data protection regime in the UK has not stood still since the introduction of GDPR. While pending legislation may be on hold, the ICO and EU continue to issue new guidance and take regular enforcement actions that enable us to more clearly interpret how the law should be applied. There are also changes affecting international data transfers and some interesting developments in the governance of Artificial Intelligence.

This half-day course will provide an essential update for anyone responsible for data protection compliance within their organisation. Attendance will also help you to demonstrate your ongoing commitment to compliance with data protection laws, as required by the ICO.

During this practical and comprehensive course, our expert presenter will carefully explain...

  • What may be included in the new Digital Information and Smart Data Bill 
  • The background and reasons for recent enforcement actions
  • The key messages coming from the ICO, the European Data Protection Board and other EU regulators
  • The key compliance areas that organisations should be focused on throughout 2024/25
