Here is our round-up of the top data protection and cyber security stories for July 2024, together with practical advice on what we're seeing in practice.
This month in review:
This month, the key themes focus on Data Protection Impact Assessments ("DPIAs") including when such assessments should be carried out and the consequences of getting this wrong. There has also been further development on the use of AI technology, particularly in relation to 'deepfakes' and the EU AI Act entering into force. The European Commission ("EC") has also published its second report in which it has evaluated the application of the GDPR since its inception.
Our trends
