In this podcast from our Cyber Hub, Natalie Donovan speaks to Partners Richard Jeens and Christian Boney about the increased focus we are currently seeing around cyber governance. Discussions include how the recent high profile ransom attacks at retailers like M&S highlight the importance of good cyber governance, what cyber related changes to the UK’s Corporate Governance Code mean in practice for organisations, how investor expectations are changing and how good governance can reduce enforcement and litigation risk.

The Data (Use and Access) Act (DUA Act) finally became law in June after a lengthy Parliamentary journey and various iterations. The DUA Act updates the UK’s legislative landscape to facilitate effective data usage, including by amending the UK’s data protection laws. It also provides the legislative foundations for the introduction of “smart data” data sharing schemes in sectors across the economy, which have the potential to boost UK GDP by over £30 billion year, according to Government estimates.

In this podcast, Cindy Knott and Bryony Bacon discuss:

• the scope of the DUA Act and what its changes to the data protection regime mean for businesses in the UK;
• the changes made to the UK data regulator, the Information Commissioner’s Office, including its uplifted fining powers in connection with marketing, cookie and other tracking technology infringements; and
• the practical steps organisations should be taking now.
