Shortly after I published my article Information Commissioner’s Office update: GDPR guidance in 2017, I came across the text of a lecture called GDPR and accountability delivered on 17 January by Elizabeth Denham, the UK Information Commissioner, delivered to the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales in London.
“Information Commissioner”, “data protection”, “lecture” – you are half asleep, aren’t you, even before you get to the words “Chartered Accountants”? That would be quite the wrong reaction to this speech. It is extremely good and clear, striking the right balance between emphasising the burdensome duties of data protection compliance and drawing attention to the positive benefits of getting it right.
I am not going to summarise it for you, just urge you to read it.
