The UK is ushering in a new era of data regulation with the introduction of the Data Protection and Digital Information (DPDI) Bill. Designed to modernise and streamline data protection in a post-Brexit landscape, the bill marks a departure from the EU’s GDPR framework, while still aiming to maintain a robust level of data privacy. For businesses, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), understanding the implications of this legislation is critical to ensuring compliance and avoiding regulatory pitfalls.
Cybersecurity threats are no longer just a concern for large enterprises; they are also a concern for small and medium-sized enterprises. Today’s small businesses face an increasing number of cyber risks, often without the resources or in-house expertise to adequately protect themselves. With remote work, cloud-based tools and mobile devices now central to business operations, the number of endpoints, each representing a potential vulnerability has never been higher.
When it comes to growing a business, there’s no substitute for strong customer relationships. Whether you’re managing enquiries, nurturing leads or keeping in touch with long-term clients, staying organised is key. But it’s not always easy. As your customer base grows, the old ways of working – endless spreadsheets, disjointed emails and scribbled notes – quickly become unsustainable.
