Data protection and privacy laws affect all organisations, and the consequences of non-compliance can be serious. Clarkslegal’s Data Protection Solicitors Melanie Pimenta and Amanda Glover explain what data breaches are, how they can be risk assessed and an organisation’s obligation to report data breaches.

It’s an interesting time to pick up on this topic because the ICO is promoting a back to basics focus on data security, so it’s an area where we’ve seen more guidance and also more enforcement action.

Find out more about how our Privacy and Data protection lawyers can support businesses on a broad range of data protection and privacy issues.
