Seeing data processing as a power for good, it contains a wealth of legal knowledge and practical insights into the key issues within the world of data protection. Highly recommended. -- Olivia Shirville CIPP/E CIPM, Lead Privacy Counsel (EMEA), Aon One of the biggest challenges to data protection law is how to effectively operationalise compliance and manage risk effectively within an evolving business structure. This book shows appreciation for this challenge and provides clear methods and concepts to address it. Operational landscape of data protection is summed up concisely and the concept of 'Technology Reference Architecture' linked to Privacy by Design, is incredibly insightful and relevant for businesses. I recommend this book for all data privacy practitioners, including in-house lawyers. -- Nargis Hassani, Solicitor Data Protection and Compliance tackles a rapidly evolving and complex regulatory landscape, in an easy to understand and practical manner. With data driving the digital evolution for most organisations, the ability to comprehend and apply an appropriate compliance framework, with respect to people, processes and systems, is increasingly challenging. For those organisations putting data at the heart of their business strategy, this is a comprehensive resource, which pulls together a wealth of subject matter expertise, tried and tested practical compliance approaches and useful insights into the rationale behind the legislation. Highly recommended. -- Janine McKelvey, BT General Counsel - Digital & Innovation, BT Group Data Protection and Ethics Officer There are many misconceptions about what is and isn't Data Protection, alongside the misinformation and scaremongering that arose in the early days of the GDPR. This book distils the considerable knowledge of its author and fellow contributors to deliver the key facts with clarity, supported with reference to landmark cases and regulatory texts. The chapter on Operational Data Protection is a timely reminder that Data Protection is people, paper (processes) and technology, and that all three are required to be effective. -- David Francis CIPP/E CIPT CIPM, Group Data Protection Officer, Canopius Stewart Room and his co-authors have certainly discovered the special sauce when seeking to create a book that will appeal to so many.
