#ProtectData
The General Data Protection Regulation ('GDPR') is a new European legal framework that came into effect on the 25th of May 2018.
The GDPR’s focus is the protection, collection and management of personal data (i.e. data about individuals), and it applies to all companies and organisations in the EU who hold or otherwise process personal data (including sole traders) of people in EU Member States, and even to companies outside the EU that offer goods or services to the individuals in the EU or who monitor their behaviour there.
The GDPR is one of the biggest shake-ups ever seen affecting how data relating to an individual should be handled. Sign up for online training to better understand the GDPR and some of the steps businesses like yours can take.

There are numerous big insurance companies that have focused […]
COVID-19 has introduced many unexpected trends in the last year. But while some—like mask wearing and compulsive hand washing—will surely peter out, others such as accelerated technology adoption will have long-lasting impact.
