The UK data protection landscape is evolving rapidly, with new legislation, case law, enforcement and guidance all playing an important part. A successful data protection framework must provide for the practical application of fundamental data protection principles to the specific industry in which an organisation operates. 

With a vast data inventory and complex distribution arrangements, the insurance industry has unique opportunities and challenges.

This market briefing has been designed in response to a call from IUA members for training which focusses on the practical application of data protection obligations to the insurance sector. It will be of particular relevance to those members with compliance colleagues who have joined from other industries.
