"Since the GDPR came into force, it has pressured countries globally to meet a new international gold standard, as well as adopt their own data privacy regimes. An avalanche of new data laws has resulted, and this is only the beginning. Our new digital tool is a vital resource for staying up-to-date with a dizzying range of new laws. The end result will be greater digital trust and transparency, which in turn will strengthen relationships with customers and employees." 

Jonathan Kewley, Partner and Co-Head of the Tech Group,

"The increase in data protection requirements from GDPR has led to significant fines, confusion and a heightened sense of privacy awareness among the general public. Practical guidance which helps shift GDPR efforts from a one-off activity into ‘business as usual’ is required to alleviate this. With this product, not only do you get all the information you need to make informed decisions quickly, but you can pinpoint the relevant information easily, helping to cut through the confusion and mitigate risks."
