EU GDPR Technical Workshop

Are you ready for the new legislation?

This one day EU Data Protection Regulation Workshop is intended to be interactive so that the delegates grasp a detailed understanding of the proposed changes to the existing data protection law (The Data Protection Act 1998) and how the changes under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will work in an everyday practical situation.
