LEGAL 500 EMEA 2024 - DATA PRIVACY AND DATA PROTECTION
Personal data and information is a fundamental asset for any kind of business nowadays. Information and data need to be managed efficiently, adequately protected and exploited. At the same time, risks connected with the use of information (cyber risks, data breaches, etc.) may cause not only economic damages but also affect significantly a company’s reliability and reputation. The development of new technologies and the diffusion of cloud infrastructures need to be carefully approached on a national level, but also considered under a global perspective, bearing in mind implications concerning jurisdiction, competent authorities and applicable laws.
