Cyber security – weathering the cyber storms
With AI helping to exacerbate cyber threats, legislators in the EU and UK are acting to stem the tide. Significant legislation is either newly in place or on the horizon, and complying with new obligations while preparing for or handling cyber incidents is becoming increasingly challenging. In this edition, we look at the impact of AI on the cyber threat landscape and how to mange risks. We also look at relevant legislative developments (including relating to the UK's PSTIA and the EU's AI Act, revised PLD, DORA and NIS2 implementation). We're nothing if not a full service law firm so we cover how to prepare for and weather the emotional fallout of a cyber attack – it's all part of the service.

MoreData sharing
Data exports continue to be high on the agenda but data sharing (of personal and non-personal data) is being looked at much more widely by the EU and the UK in the context of providing individuals with control over their data, opening up the potential of big data, and breaking down barriers to competition. We look at incoming EU legislation relating to data sharing with particular focus on the draft Data Act, as well as at the ICO's Code of Practice on Data Sharing, Privacy Shield 2.0 and data sharing requirements for the UK's Pensions Dashboard.
MoreHealth data – getting the right balance between innovation and data protection
Personal health data attracts special protection but also benefits from exemptions under UK and EU data protection law. Have legislators and regulators got the balance between innovation and privacy right or do the rules overly restrict advances in healthcare provision and research?

We look at the UK's implementation of the GDPR journalistic exemption, at the ICO's recently published draft Code of Practice on journalism, the use of data protection law in media cases, and at the tensions between the right to privacy and to freedom of expression.
