25 May has come and gone and the GDPR is now effective. Many organizations struggled to comes to terms with the enormity of the task of addressing the regulation and mistakenly saw 25 May as a deadline rather than a milestone in a larger piece of work.
During this presentation Tim Clements will share some insights into the benefits of aligning GDPR with existing organizational strategies, as well as outline some existing standards that can assist in establishing the framework needed to ensure ongoing compliance with GDPR and other applicable laws and regulations.
Furthermore, we will look at the operational aspects of two key GDPR requirements, “Data Protection Impact Assessment” and “Data Protection by Design and by Default”.

The Talk will examine some possible good news on one of the two fronts – a digital transformation of manufacturing that will amount to a ‘Fourth Industrial Revolution’. The Talk will conclude by looking at who might reap the benefits.
