Data Protection Legal Issues & Risks

When your business creates, obtains or uses any personal data relating to individuals you are bound by data protection legislation.

Whether you process employee data or customer data, it is imperative that your workforce understands its responsibilities so that your business complies with the law. Infringements of the law can be damaging, not just because they cause harm to individuals but because penalties can be costly. Your business reputation could be at risk.
