Hello and welcome to another episode of JDPR Now, a podcast dedicated to all things related to data security and data privacy.

This week's episode is data security in a crisis.

Regular listeners will have already heard our episodes on what DPO's need to know about cybersecurity and COVID-19 and the impact
