The great GDPR hoax

Jane Frankland·25 June 2017·Cyber Security

...One of my favourite stories as a child was Chicken Licken.

Can we really trust GDPR products, services and “experts?”

Jane Frankland·18 June 2017·Cyber Security

...Roll up, roll up, shouts the cybersecurity tout at the conference. "Are you ready to be dazzled by our GDPR product, service and expert?"  We smile, groan or "tut tut."
