“You were only supposed to blow the bloody doors off” .... tinkering with DP

“You were only supposed to blow the bloody doors off” – tinkering with data protection adequacy and the risks of regulatory divergence in an increasingly converging world. In this webinar, Daragh O'Brien will revisit his 2016 webinar briefings on the potential impact of Brexit on data protection compliance for EU-based organisations doing business in the UK and UK-based organisations serving the EU market. He will explore the current state of play as the UK government looks to ‘reform’ the UK’s data protection regime and set out some predictions for what will come next from a practical and pragmatic perspective based on his experiences advising clients in Ireland, Northern Ireland, and the UK. He might swear a bit. Daragh O'Brien is the founder and MD of Castlebridge, a leading data strategy consultancy based in Ireland.

He has advised and worked with organisations as diverse as small local charities, Government Departments, EU Institutions, and the United Nations.
