GTA Compliance CPD Series 2025 - Leading from the top: the art of accountability

Whether you work in the private, public or third sectors, education or healthcare, Bailiwick Data Protection Deputy Commissioner Rachel Masterton explains why accountability should be at the heart of any successful organisation.
