Last Friday, Catarina Santos and Caine Glancy, discussed Training That Actually Changes Behaviour.

Most organisations provide training... but how often does it genuinely change behaviour, improve decision-making, or create accountability?

In this practical live discussion, we’ll explore what effective data protection training looks like in practice, why so much compliance training fails, and how organisations can evidence that learning is actually making a difference.

Join us for an episode of GDPR Radio, part of the Data Protection Made Easy podcast, hosted by Caine Glancy and Catarina Santos.

Last week, we discussed the key trends, biggest talking points, and sharing expert insight into the latest developments from the last two weeks across the data protection industry.

In this live session, Katerina Douni and Catarina Santos will explore the most common issues uncovered during GDPR audits and why they continue to appear across organisations.

They’ll break down recurring findings, explain the root causes behind them, and share practical insight on how to address gaps before they become regulatory problems.

Following the overwhelming response to our recent session on weaponised SARs, we hosted Part 2 on the Data Protection Made Easy podcast.

We had over 180 attendees join us live and received a huge number of questions and scenarios throughout the session. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to cover everything on the day, so this session is dedicated to going deeper.

In Part 2, we cover:
Revisiting the topic of weaponised SARs
Work through unanswered questions from the live chat
Discuss real scenarios submitted by attendees
Share further practical guidance on how organisations can respond

Subject Access Requests are a fundamental right under the UK GDPR, designed to give individuals transparency over their personal data. However, across every sector we work with, we are seeing a clear shift in how these rights are being used.

In this episode, we explore the rise of weaponised SARs. These are requests submitted not just to access data, but to apply pressure, support disputes, or disrupt organisations.

Hosted by Catarina Santos and Caine Glancy, this session will break down what is happening in practice, why this trend is accelerating, and how organisations can respond with confidence.

Joining our hosts Catarina Santos and Caine Glancy is Paul Holland, CEO and Founder of Beyond Encryption, bringing over 40 years of experience in secure communications, identity verification, and fraud prevention.

As safety and privacy regulations begin to overlap, organisations are facing a new challenge, how do you protect users while still complying with the UK GDPR?

In this session, we’ll explore:

• Where safety obligations may conflict with data protection principles
• The role of encryption and identity verification
• What DPOs need to consider when using third-party safety tools
• Practical steps organisations should take as the Online Safety Act comes into force
