GDPR: Compliance, Concerns and COVID

Continuous Professional Development (CPD) 

Continuous professional development (CPD) is a major factor when carving out a career in compliance, particularly when taking in to account the ever-changing regulatory environment with new and emerging legislation constantly on the agenda. The Compliance Institute is the leading provider of CPD events for compliance professionals in Ireland. 

GDPR: COMPLIANCE, CONCERNS AND COVID

Processing details of vaccine status, international transfers, claims by data subjects, and the increasing risk of enforcement action are just some of the issues that organisations have to grapple with from a data protection and privacy perspective.

 

With this in mind, Mazars and McCann FitzGerald have, for the sixth consecutive year commissioned research into the ongoing impact of GDPR on businesses and operations in Ireland.

 

Join us on Thursday, 24 March for this webinar "GDPR: Compliance, Concerns and COVID". Following an overview of the research findings, we will host a discussion with representatives from Mazars and McCann FitzGerald LLP into the issues highlighted by our report and what organisations can do to deal with the challenges and take advantage of the opportunities raised.”
