For all commercial clients and especially those operating in the technology field, data security and privacy concerns have become business critical risks.
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which in May 2018 will supersede the Data Protection Act 1998, will revolutionise data protection and has a potentially huge impact on UK businesses. Organisations breaching the GDPR will face penalties of up to €20 million or 4% of global turnover, whichever is highest.
Our expert team of lawyers understand how the GDPR will impact the insurance sector and work closely with insurers and brokers in the sector to ensure they are handling data in their organisations and complying with the GDPR effectively.
