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.

Thank you for allowing me to come to the event today. I will be joining the network. I was so impressed by your personal approach and your professionalism in running the event and your husband did a great job as well.
