Ms Ryan is a certified Data Protection practitioner with a background in the legal, financial and governance sectors, is in daily contact with organisations coming to grips with GDPR. She says “GDPR compliance continues to be a challenge for many businesses. This is for many reasons, some of which may be ambiguity within the regulation, the perception that compliance is a once in time exercise or organisations hesitating to action – the wait and see affect creeping in. I am looking forward to presenting the Republic of Work Lunchtime Learning to share cutting edge information and engage in meaningful dialogue with attendees.”
This event is for members of the general public as well as Republic of Work members who want to keep their data protection knowledge up to date. Topics covered during the event are some of the biggest points experienced by businesses in the last few months following the introduction of GDPR.

Vendor Management – Businesses need to ensure that the suppliers and vendors they do business with are themselves compliant with the various privacy regulations.
