GDPR presents not just a single compliance challenge - how to get policies and procedures right - but an ongoing plethora of overlapping priorities that must be dealt with at various levels of the business. From implementing technical measures, tracking data subject requests and putting in place incident breaches registers, there is never an 'end' point to GDPR compliance.

However, automation of various data privacy and technical security tasks can vastly improve compliance efficiency and, more importantly, provide evidence of how your organisation complies with GDPR.

In this podcast, join our experts as they discuss:

• The key GDPR compliance challenges for different types of organisations
• What is automation in compliance, and how does it work?
• What kinds of GDPR tasks can be automated
• Making the most of GDPR and automation
• How to save your organisation time, money and hassle with automation tools

The EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has now been in force for five years. During that time, fines have totalled close to €2.8 billion, with over €1 billion in fines coming in the past 12 months. The most recent fines show that both large and small businesses are subject to regulators' scrutiny. Recorded the day before GDPR's fifth anniversary, in this episode we look at the effect the regulation has had on the way we collect and process data and what we can expect going forward. We were joined by our own in-house DPO to take you through the key developments in GDPR from across the EU.
