General Data Protection Regulation – Are You Prepared?
With less than a year to go until the deadline for compliance with the new EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), now is the time to prepare.

Failure to comply could not only cost your business large amounts of money – as much as 4% of global revenue, but also damage your reputation and expose you to lawsuits from clients. Brickendon looks at the things you will have to consider and how you can turn compliance into an advantage for your business.

Brickendon looks at the new challenges businesses are facing in the light of Brexit and offers advice on how best to address them.
