VIDEO: Hearts and Minds; The Human Factor in Data Protection

SYNOPSIS
Why ‘engagement’ matters in data protection, what effective engagement looks like, what has worked – and what hasn’t.

KEY POINT
What works on paper and what works on people are not the same things.

BIO
Rowenna Fielding is a nerd whose obsessive tendencies have served her well in building a career; first as an information security specialist then an advisor on data protection. Over the 10+ years since switching fields, Rowenna has been helping to bring data protection law to life in commercial and voluntary sector organisations, from in-house and more recently; as a consultant. In 2020, Rowenna established her own company, Miss IG Geek Ltd; providing advice, support, training and guidance on data protection and eprivacy. If she won the Lottery, Rowenna would carry on working in data protection, because its intersection of technology, social order and human rights is just too interesting to miss out on, even if it is a bit of an uphill struggle most of the time.
