An evaluation of the UK’s cyber security and privacy legislative framework
Sponsored by TechTarget ComputerWeekly.com
This in-depth report assesses the UK’s cyber security and data privacy legislative framework. It also assesses the effectiveness of key legislation, notably the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), Data Protection Act 2018 (DPA 2018), and the Network and Information Systems (NIS) Regulations 2018, in achieving improved security and privacy outcomes. The report examines the relationship between legislative development, enforcement practices, and the potential impact of the increasing volume and complexity of regulations.
