Time for data protection prep

Solicitors are invited to take part in a “readiness” test to prepare businesses for new EU data protection rules.

The GDPR readiness test will help businesses get ready for the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). It has been launched by Cordery, using the capabilities and compliance expertise of LexisNexis UK. The test consists of a series of questions which generate a report with recommendations for key areas of focus, and is available at www.corderycompliance.com.
