Two new topics launched: "Big Data and Data Protection" and "Working with a new supplier of secondary data"

The folllowing two new topics are now available:

• Big Data and Data Protection - With the additional data protection constraints of GDPR (coming into force in May 2018), this article summarises key points raised in a recent 113-page document published by the ICO.
• Working with a new supplier of secondary data - A checklist of things to consider and clarify alongside your own specific requirements, prior to starting a project.
