The Risks and Consequences of Data Breaches with Luke Beckley

Is your company doing the right thing with people’s data?

We all hear about data protection. We all see it on websites we visit with Cookie pop ups all over the place. But are managing it in an ethical way?

I wanted to explore this hugely important topic for umbrella companies with Luke Beckley, a data enablement specialist.

There have been several high-profile data breaches in the umbrella industry and it’s our obligation to get it right. We cover a lot of ground from the introduction of GDPR in 2018 to the impacts AI has had on data mining.

Luke highlights the need for organisations to understand and adhere to data protection principles. He also emphasises the importance of transparency and informing individuals about how their data is being processed.

There are risks and consequences of data breaches and the collection of personal data by organisations. We need to go beyond tick-box compliance and truly prioritise data protection.

“We need to ask, are we doing the right thing for the individual?” – Luke Beckley
