GDPR and Data Protection Advice
Alex Goodman writes every article here. He is a data protection consultant with over ten years of practice across financial services, SaaS, healthcare, and the charity sector.
The topics come from the questions UK businesses ask: how to respond to a subject access request, what to do in the first 72 hours of a data breach, whether you need a named DPO, and how to handle UK GDPR without a full-time compliance team.
The answers are in plain English.
