How will personal data continue to flow after Brexit?

The ICO's Elizabeth Denham's latest blog busts the myths for UK small and medium sized businesses transferring personal data to and from the EEA
Like everyone in the UK right now, we are following the twists and turns of the Brexit negotiations. The sharing of customers', citizens' and employees' personal data between EU member states and the UK is vital for business supply chains to function and public authorities to deliver effective public services.

At the moment personal data flow is unrestricted because the UK is an EU member state. If the proposed EU withdrawal agreement is approved, businesses can be assured that personal data will continue to flow until 2020 while a longer term solution can be put in place.

Abbey Petkar, managing director of Magenta Security Services reacts to the latest Brexit challenges.

Whether you voted to leave or remain, whether you believe in the PM's plan or think she is wasting valuable time, Brexit is undoubtably the topic of the moment and will remain so for some time to come. Yet collectively the security industry remains relatively mute on its potential impact - which could be significant.
