Networking Events' Seminar Topics

Seminar: Good Enough Is Not Enough - GDPR Risks in Public Sector Contracts
Presenter - Chris Burn - Managing Director - CSRM Limited
Working with public sector organisations means operating under intense scrutiny. Whether you are bidding for NHS contracts, council services, or government projects, the stakes could not be higher. One data protection misstep can derail years of relationship building and cost you contracts worth millions. In this marketplace, 'good enough' data protection simply will not cut it. Chris is going to walk us through the current GDPR risks in tenders (applicable to the private sector also), and what today's procurement teams are looking for. The presentation will give you some takeaways for your client onboarding strategy, in line with the latest UK data privacy legislation.

What our
members and
visitors say...

I have been a member of The Business Network for around 15 years - it might be more! I love the real world events but in the absence of that for obvious reasons recently, Helen had run a great online event every month. Helen is very well connected and always makes you feel an important and valuable member of the network. I recommend you come along and see for yourself.

Thank you for the wonderful May online event that I attended. This was a very well run, engaging, and supportive event and made me proud to be part of The Business Network. Congratulations Helen to you and the team!
