Data Protection by Design and by Default
In this episode of InfoSec Insider – Talk DP, Aimee Brown and Rachael Salter, both Data Protection Consultants at URM, share their insights on the principle of data protection (DP) by design and by default, particularly as it relates to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Rachael and Aimee leverage over 20 years’ combined experience in data protection to discuss:
- What ‘data protection by design and by default’ means under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
- Why this approach is so important for SMEs
- How SMEs can practically implement DP by design and default
- The common pitfalls SMEs face when applying this principle
- The emerging and future trends that make DP by design and default even more critical.
