Data Protection / Security For United Kingdom

Brief regulatory requirements of the United Kingdom Data Protection Act 2018

The Data Protection Regulation/Act (DPA) defines the rules for safeguarding personal information in the United Kingdom and allocates responsibilities to authorities and organizations for how they do so.
