Full Day

Europe has been busy recently, discussing new measures which will have a substantial impact for those concerned with data protection in the workplace. These initiatives relate to the jurisdictional reach of data, security breach notifications and the mandatory requirement to have a data protection officer in organisations with 250 or more staff. As always, we bring together experts from the Information Commissioner's Office and the very best lawyers in Northern Ireland to review all the key developments in data protection and employment issues that you need to be concerned about.
