Strategic - Building a Unified Data Protection Framework
Data protection laws are changing all the time, not just in the UK and EU, but around the world. To keep up, it's important to build a data protection framework that works across different regions. This means creating a system that meets both the UK's GDPR and the EU's GDPR requirements. In the long run, a unified approach makes it easier to manage data responsibly, no matter where you operate. Consider developing policies that account for regional differences in data retention and residency laws.
Tactical - Implementing Controls and Assessments
Right now, it's crucial to put proper controls in place to manage how data is used. Start by setting up a strong DPIA process. For any new project—like launching an app or introducing a new system—assess the risks at the beginning. Involve both your information security team and data protection officer to cover all bases. Ensure your team receives training to understand the risks and how to manage them effectively.
