What is a Data Controller and what is a Data Processor?  

These are two key roles within the GDPR and it is important to understand which role your organisation fulfils to determine and understand your legal obligations. 

In some instances you might be fulfilling both roles, and so it's essential to be aware what your business obligations are under one role and what your business obligations are under the other.

I will also be talking about what agreements must be in place between a controller and a processor.

The importance of having an incident response plan and keeping a record of the incident and much more.
