PODCAST: Managing behavioural risk

SYNOPSIS
In this short podcast, Huw Thomas, tells a story that illustrates that no-one is immune from making mistakes and that businesses need to think differently about how they manage behavioural risk. 

Huw argues that educating staff about taking care of personal data needs to be done better: to take full account of how people actually behave, rather than how businesses would like them to behave. He suggests making use of people within your business who understand how people behave to help write shorter, actionable policies and procedures around use of data. He concludes that taking good care of personal data makes good business sense for us as a jurisdiction, as it protects our key financial services sector.
