PL&B UK 95 gives practical advice on preparing for the GDPR



As the GDPR is now just over 4 months away, the January edition of PL&B UK Report leads with plenty of practical advice resulting from last November’s PL&B’s GDPR Help! Roundtable 1: Demonstrating Compliance. You can contribute and benefit from these discussions by taking one of the last 3 places at GDPR Help!
