Press – Arthur's Legal

Whether you like it or not, technology changes the world in a fast pace. Cloud computing, ecommerce, internet of things and data analytics are what organizations are talking about on a daily basis and areincreasingly assessing the opportunities, benefits and risks. Technology makes innovation possible, and technology is a need-to-have in organizations, society and economy.

However, risk assessment, risk management, legal and other compliance frameworks have generally not caught up with technology. In these domains, there are many pressing questions, such as:

a. How to ensure compliance in this fast changing world?
b. How to implement privacy principles in practice?
c. How to mitigate security and data protection risks?
d. What are the necessary measures to take following a data breach?
e. What are the risks and costs in case of non-compliance?

Where IT used to be relatively a fairly low regulated horizontal, as it is now considered to be a need-to-have,it will become highly regulated in the very near future.

We can all expect and need to prepare for the wave of regulations in 2018, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (May 2018), the Network and Information Security Directive (June 2018), Trade Secret Directive (June 2018) and Payment Service Directive II (January 2018), to name a few in which security and (personal) data protection are essential components.

It is time to get ready for these and related regulations on security and data protection, and jiujitsu-style, make sure that your organization and customers will see security and personal data protection as a solution, not as a problem.

For that, please join our Security & Privacy Workshop Open Series 2017. It is a program of six (6) sessions, the first of which starts in February 2017. Read all about it in our Brochure.
