Preventing email errors from leading to lawsuits

On-demand webinar

The UK is moving into a new era of data protection: with class action lawsuits becoming an inevitable and costly outcome of almost every data breach.

In fact, as reports hit the headlines of personal data exposed to unauthorised access, law firms specialising in group litigation are simultaneously creating webpages to cater to for data subjects looking for recompense.

Against this backdrop, ICO trends show emailing incorrect recipients has been the top cause of data breaches through 2020, and recent research has revealed outbound email put data at risk every 12 working hours for an average organisation of 250 employees.

Watch this session with DWF Partner, Stewart Room, where we examine the way class action lawsuits are affecting UK organisations and discuss how employee’s email usage is putting you at risk.
