GDPR has been a constant business conversation over the last 18 months or so, it's discussed in the press, on the news and social media, as well as a handful of episodes of this podcast. However, much of the conversation has focussed on what you should be considering and doing to take on the GDPR challenge, while very little has come from those who have already made great strides on their compliance journey.

With that in mind, a few weeks ago I read a fascinating series of blogs from software company Veeam, this series discussed the 5 principles they followed to build their compliance program.

As many of us are currently on our own compliance journey, I thought the opportunity to chat with someone who is already well down this path would be of real interest, so in this week's podcast I'm joined by Mike Resseler, Mike is a Director of Product Management but is also a key member of Veeam's global compliance team and has played a significant part in the way they have dealt with the challenges posed by GDPR.

In this week's show Mike shares with us Veeam's experience. We start at the beginning with the initial advice they took and research they did into what GDPR meant to them. We look at the importance of picking the right team, seeing compliance as a positive and how they dealt with those who felt GDPR didn't effect them.

We also look at the practicalities of building a compliance program as Mike shares the 5 principles Veeam developed to help them. We wrap up looking at the future, discussing continual improvement, training and the way that Veeam are making compliance integral to everything they do across their business.

I hope you enjoy the fantastic insight that Mike provides into the way a company builds a compliance programme and tackles regulation such as GDPR.
