Brenton and I talk about the importance of data compliance in light of recent legislation updates in both Australia and overseas. This means that it is very important to firstly understand what your obligations are when it comes to personal data but to also ensure you own systems are compliant. Technology is not the only solution required here, you'll need policy as well as training to help people better understand what their responsibility is. We cover off all the major highlights as well as give you some suggestions of how you should be approaching this with your Office 365 tenants.
