Data privacy and protection was always important. Now it’s critical.

In the post-GDPR, landscape, companies now better understand the importance of paying attention to how they gather, handle and secure data. There is no doubt that the sizeable fines have greatly concentrated minds: the data breaches which have taken place since 2013 alone would , under GDPR rules, have resulted in fines totalling over $4bn.
