UK Data Protection Index Panel

Each quarter the Index provides a glimpse into the changing attitudes and sentiments of Data Protection Officers across the UK. The panel of DPOs are quizzed every three months on a consistent set of questions, allowing us to closely track shifting views and opinions. New questions are also added each quarter, gathering further insight into DPOs’ views on the very latest issues being faced by UK Data Protection Officers.
