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.
Description
Failure to comply with the regulations can result in a criminal prosecution with summary fines of up to €5,000 and on indictment €250,000 per offence.
