The ripple effect seminar details

Every data breach, no matter how small, has a ripple effect. It could be physical, emotional or psychological. The people who are affected by these breaches can experience real-world harms, far beyond a simple “admin error”. 

This session will help you to understand these harms. You will feel confident engaging your wider organisation in conversations about the human impact of data protection. And you’ll have practical tools and tips to ensure people are at the heart of your organisation’s breach response and data protection practices.  

We'll use examples and case studies to demonstrate how organisations are implementing the ripple effect campaign.  

This session is aimed at data protection officers and anyone handling personal data as part of their role.

Beyond the headlines seminar details

With several high-profile cyber attacks in the news recently, organisations need to make sure they’re protected against cyber threats. Recent cyber attacks in the news show the importance of taking steps to help you avoid falling victim. 

We want to promote the discussion of cyber attacks, viewing them as opportunities to share good practice and lessons learned. We also want to highlight any actionable insights that you can take away and implement in your organisation to improve data security. 

This seminar is aimed at data protection officers, chief information security officers and information security managers. Although we will cover some technical elements,  you do not need to be an expert to attend this session.

DUAA seminar details

The Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 marks a significant shift in UK data protection, aiming to simplify data use, foster innovation, and enhance public services—while safeguarding personal information. It introduces practical reforms to research, cookies, and automated decisions, and strengthens protections for children’s data. The ICO is implementing these changes in phases, updating guidance and transitioning to a statutory board. This seminar will explore the Act’s scope, key changes, commencement schedule, internal readiness, and governance updates, while signposting support available. All data protection practitioners are welcome, and questions are encouraged on the day.
