DBC presents Muckle LLP GDPR - The Final Countdown! @ Ramside Hall Hotel

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is already in force and we are currently in a period of implementation with the deadline for compliance set for 25 May 2018.
We’ve all seen the news. The numerous cyber-attacks and security incidents at organisations around the world have propelled data protection to the top of board agendas everywhere. GDPR is a result of these incidents but also changes in technology, the way we interact and the vast quantities of data created every second of every day. Existing data protection laws pre-date the internet and just don’t relate to our connected world today.
There has been much hype about the new rules and we invite specialist Law Firm Muckle LLP to this month’s club meeting to present its impact for you and your business.
We look forward to welcoming you to the newly refurbished Ballroom of Ramside Hall Hotel, the evening will end in the usual way, with a networking buffet.
