The niner noteworthy and the 12 recaps of 2016 (day 10)

Except for one article, all others deal with data protection and privacy laws related to the European Union. Not too surprising as the general data protection regulation and the EU/US privacyshield have been dominating the privacy news over the last year.
Apart from those major topics I will be looking at how Florida is handling data from citizens with a drivers license as well as what the Donald may have in store for cross-atlantic data transfers.
besides this, there are already some pointers to the semi-final instalment of this series which will focus on online surveillance.

In chronological order:

  • Is Ireland ready to police the data world?
  • Privacy Shield challenged by Irish privacy advocates
  • The GDPR will set the benchmark for global privacy contracting – and here’s why
  • How the ICO will be supporting the implementation of the GDPR
  • Florida May Be Breaking Law In Selling Personal Info To Companies
  • CNIL just published the results of their GDPR public consultation: what’s in store for DPOs and data portability?
  • Germany: Data Protection Officer must not have a conflict of interests
  • EU to Closely Monitor Trump on Data Transfer Compliance
  • Critics: Germany’s GDPR implementation riddled with holes, illegalities

Testimonials

IFS, DPC & GDPR

We were introduced to Shamrock Information Security during the development of the AVTN.TV Television News Project. As the projected demands on our systems; need to protect the company from Cyber Attacks; and ensure corporate practices were GDPR compliant increased, Shamrock became invaluable in advising us on the necessary structures and requirements. Their work is most evident within the relevant pages of the AVTN.TV Investment Proposal. I highly recommend their services, and wouldn’t hesitate to commission them in the future.

Phillip Covell, CEO, AVTN.TV

Great advice on all things to do with privacy and information security

I’ve worked with a lot of privacy and InfoSec professionals over the past couple of decades but few of them had minds as sharp and knowledgeable as those at Shamrock. For insightful and focussed advice on security/privacy matters, Shamrock is hard to beat!

Training Feedback

Very knowledgeable trainer nice venue plenty of interaction possible.
If you are looking for an IAPP trainer I can commend this course to you.

Raymond Ford
GDPR Institute

CIPP/E training

I have a lot of experience this field, but there are always areas you are stronger and weaker on. Shamrock covered the exam content thoroughly, such that I was able to focus on the areas that would benefit from some revision.

I would recommend Shamrock training courses for beginners and experts alike.
