I love this overview of why #DataProtection matters to us all at @bhconsulting.bsky.social and how we walk the walk and not just talk the talk
#DataProtectionDay – Why It Matters to Us at BH Consulting At BH Consulting, we believe that what we do, ultimately contributes to making the world a safer place. We do this by helping organisations protect what matters most: their data. Our work spans #governance and #assurance, with services covering #dataprotection, #cybersecurity, and #AI governance - supporting organisations to manage risk, build trust, and operate responsibly in an increasingly complex digital environment. But our role doesn’t stop there. We actively advocate for stronger security and data protection practices beyond client engagements. Through our collective work on advisory boards, we contribute to policy discussions and regulatory thinking. Through our associative and industry board roles, we champion greater #diversity and inclusion in the cybersecurity and data protection professions. We also share our learning widely, speaking at conferences and industry events, and lead thought in our field through ongoing research and publications. On this #DataProtectionDay, we celebrate the broader purpose behind the day: protecting people, strengthening organisations, and contributing to world where data is processed with accountability, and respect for rights.
@noybeu A good and helpful article about #dataProtection in the #EU and the GDPR.
