GDPR enforcement is not far away now and HR departments – as the guardians of large amounts of personal data – are amongst the most greatly impacted.

At this Market Briefing, Fifth Step’s CEO and author of the book The Little Book of GDPR, Darren Wray will cover the vital details of what GDPR is and what it means to HR departments as well as the steps that HR need to take in preparation for May 25th.

This will allow all attendees to leave with a high-level action plan of what their firm needs to do next, no matter if they have just started on the path to compliance or have been on the journey for the last 18 months.
