Data Privacy Cluster Meeting: Don't Take Me Home!

1st March 2023 | 14:30 - 16:30

Moneypenny Western Gateway Wrexham LL13 7ZB

Purpose

The Cyber Wales, Data Protection and Ethics cluster exists to showcase best practice, whilst providing a community resource for individuals and businesses alike. We want to bridge the gap between traditional IT and Data Protection, speakers are challenged to drop the jargon and inspire us all to think differently.

 

Event Title: Don’t take me home

Cyber Wales is delighted that on St David’s Day, the day that celebrates the patron Saint of Wales, we will be holding the latest Cyber Wales event in Wrexham. A city known for its long history of football, with the local Club, Wrexham AFC, being the third oldest professional football club in the world. The anthem, Don’t take me home, can often be heard from the terraces, win, lose or draw, in the end it is the being there that counts. Our host’s Moneypenny will be ready to welcome us all on a day of national celebration. The invitation extends across borders and we know you will all want to enjoy the Bara Brith and Welsh Cakes, as much as the speakers and discussion! Luckily, if you are not able to make it in person, you can register to join us online, after all it is being part of the community that counts.

 

Register to attend in person (limited availability), or join the event online.

Data Privacy Cluster Event: Data Ethics - 15 June 2022

15th June 2022 | 14:00 - 16:00

Webinar

Hi everyone,

Thank you to those of us who joined us for the session of the Data Privacy Cluster - which was all about Data Ethics!

At our first Data Privacy Cluster meeting, we surveyed attendees and asked what topics they wanted to hear more about. The two topics were Data Ethics and GDPR management platforms.

This session provided a practical introduction to establishing 'Data Ethics' within an organisation:

  • We started by exploring what 'ethics' means to us, and ways to manage friction between ethical conduct and business needs
  • Then, we took a look at some of the many ways in which data can be dangerous; and how those dangers can be controlled, before moving on to the sticky questions of deciding what you CAN, MAY and SHOULD do with people's data
  • Finally, we discussed some case studies of unethical data practices to look at what went wrong
The session included a 45-minute presentation on the topic from our speaker Rowenna Fielding; who describes herself as a nerd whose obsessive tendencies have served her well in building a career; first as an information security specialist then an advisor on data protection.

More about Rowenna:
  • Over the 10+ years since switching fields, Rowenna has been helping to bring data protection law to life in commercial and voluntary sector organisations, from in-house and more recently; as a consultant
  • In 2020, Rowenna established her own company, Miss IG Geek Ltd; providing advice, support, training and guidance on data protection and eprivacy
  • If she won the Lottery, Rowenna would probably carry on working in data protection anyway, because its intersection of technology, social order and human rights is just too interesting to miss out on, even if it is a bit of an uphill struggle most of the time
Finally, the session concluded with 30 minutes of QnA.

The session was aimed towards:
  • Data Protection professionals: Data Protection Officers and consultants
  • IT Managers
  • Legal professionals
  • Procurement teams
  • Those seeking to use personal data to drive growth and profitability
The session focused on GDPR management systems. We had a panel of specialists who shared their insights and took questions from attendees. These specialists have helped clients select and deploy platforms in small, medium and large organisations across the world.

Data Privacy Cluster - 6 July 2019

6th July 2021 | 16:00 - 17:00

Webinar

Hi everyone,

The Data Privacy Cluster is resuming meetings and we are expanding our special interest areas to include Data Governance and Ethics.

The first meeting back will be held on Tuesday 6 July at 16:00 for an hour and will be run as a GoToMeeting session.

As Clusters Leads, we are looking forward to presenting our rationale for the evolution of the Cluster to include:

  • The Inclusion of governance frameworks such as Cyber Essentials, ISO2001 etc. which will help give context to how to implement security controls to protect data.
  • Understanding of risk and how it effects the organisation (i.e., Third party risk up and down the supply chain, remote working etc.)
  • Ethics of security and governance (i.e., dealing with the board and stakeholders, political impact internal and external)
  • Asking members to come forward with their stories of journeys into governance to support the DPA.
In addition, we will of course be continuing to give updates on industry news, advice and guidance on key topics and maybe even a shoulder to cry on, in a relaxed and supportive environment.

Gentle reminder… the cluster is not a spring-board for sales pitches or flag-waving about products or services so please help us to keep it vendor neutral.

As a cluster we want to continue to educate businesses, individuals and ourselves not only about data privacy but also about governance, risk and compliance.

We’d love to see you all there – https://businessbutleruk.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_tioowqlURh6QfLyo6gLIwg

Data Privacy Cluster - July 2019

CPS Recruitment, 1st Floor, Golate House, St Mary Street, Cardiff, CF10 1DX

GDPR Sub-Cluster - July 2016

28th July 2016 | 14:00 - 16:00

Atradius, Cardiff, CF10 4WZ

On 4th May 2016 a new General Data Protection Regulation was published in the Official Journal of the EU along with notice that it will come into effect on the 25th May 2018. It takes the form of a “Regulation” as opposed to the old “Directive” which means it has the power to impose fines and it applies to…

“Data controllers and processors outside the EU whose processing activities relate to the offering of goods or services (even if for free) to, or monitoring the behaviour (within the EU) of, EU data subjects”

So, if you hold or process information about any EU citizen then you will need to be compliant with these new regulations regardless of whether you are a European company or the outcomes of BRexit – any company in the world can be fined. It is very different to many existing data protection laws and contains many onerous obligations that will take time to prepare for.

This Sub-cluster of the Wales Cyber Security Clusters is open to those with a responsibility for ensuring an organisation's compliance with the new EU General Data Protection Regulation who want to share ideas, challenges and best practice in the run-up to the 2018 deadline.
