#gdpr - still keeping me busy

Following last week's AIIM webinar, I am currently early preparation for a 19 November Capita event http://bit.ly/1JSlT7O. Bit scary as representatives of the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the EU and the UK Ministry of Justice will be speaking as well. Despite delays in getting the Regulation through it is now very high on the agenda.

UK-related examples, poppy sellers being hounded for charity donations, Lloyds bank customers having their data lost by RSA, and of course all those who submitted their details to Ashley-Madison.
However, lots of challenges still out there to be addressed. Should be an informative day for speakers as well as attendees.

Update and musings

Apologies to all that I haven't been tweeting or blogging much in the last couple of months (I know you have(n't) missed me) - sadly one AR person asked was I still working!
With a number of colleagues msmd advisors has been undertaking significant number crunching around renewable energy (particularly PV - photo-voltaic) for a variety of clients. 'Top and bottom' - expect lively debate about PV in the next term of the UK parliament.
Back to the 'day job', the EU General Data Protection Directive (#GDPR) will be the focus for the autumn. Speaking for AIIM on 24 Sept (http://bit.ly/1JSlT7O)  and at a Capita conference in November. Again this could be interesting politically in the next year.
If any of the above topics have 'stimulated' your interest, check out the contact page of the msmd advisors website.

AIIM webinar on EU Data Protection 24 September

Just putting final touches to my presentation. Despite the migrant crisis, there is a lot going on at the moment across Europe on #gdpr. Somewhat ironically having GDPR in place by now, may have helped address the information flow issues which could support a 'whole Europe' policy for migrants/refugees.
