In Episode 2 of Practical Privacy, Orla Dormer is joined by Helen Graham (Global Head of Privacy at IVC Evidensia) to unpack one of the biggest challenges privacy teams face today: keeping up with a constant wave of new and evolving data legislation.

Helen shares why compliance can’t be treated as a legal exercise alone, how operational context is critical to assessing real business impact, and why effective privacy programmes depend on cross-functional and cross-border collaboration. 

The conversation also reflects on leadership, buy-in, and the ongoing need for privacy professionals to explain and defend why privacy matters, even after years in the role. A practical discussion for anyone working to make privacy scalable, sustainable, and embedded in the business.

In this first episode of Practical Privacy, Orla Dormer sits down with Dave Evans to unpack a problem many privacy teams recognise instantly: having a ROPA that technically exists, but does not actually help you answer real questions.
