TESTIMONIALS

I had the pleasure of participating in a roundtable organized by Events 4 Sure with other data protection experts, discussing the crucial topic 'From Risk to Resilience: Reducing Risks in Data Retention.'

It was an enriching discussion that reinforced the importance of turning risks into resilience through robust data retention practices.
