"For many businesses, the GDPR represents a complete shift in approach to data privacy, as they move from a 'tick-box' exercise to organisational change which puts data accountability at the heart of operations. Believing that 25 May represents a finish line you have now crossed is a dangerous option, particularly as technology develops and the public becomes increasingly tuned in to the value of and risk to their data assets. We hope you continue to enjoy our Global Data Hub content; we know some 50,000 of you do every month." - Vin Bange
