The EU鈥檚 General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is considered to be one of the toughest privacy laws in the world as it imposes obligations on organisations globally that process EU residents鈥� personal data. Europe continues to take a firm stance on data privacy and security at a time when organisations derive ever more value from the personal data they process.
In 2022, the EU is planning to introduce further privacy and data security legislation including The鈥疍igital Services Act and Digital Markets Act, The Data Governance Act, and the long-awaited鈥痚Privacy Regulation, which was originally intended to take effect alongside the GDPR in 2018, and will replace the 2002 ePrivacy Directive (the 鈥榗ookie law鈥�).
Rob Masson continues 鈥淒ata protection is one of the fastest growing areas of business in the UK and Europe and the huge amount of new legislation being introduced globally will ensure the subject听maintains its place at the top of board agendas for UK and European businesses.鈥� It is鈥痸ital organisations understand their exposure to data and privacy risk as it impacts every part of their business from employees, to clients, partners and wider stakeholders.鈥濃��
