A new advice panel, aiming to provide valuable feedback, and help improve the Office of the Data Protection Authorities guidance and ensure its effectiveness, has been launched.
The ODPA says the panel was carefully chosen to include key representatives, composed of experts from both the public and private sectors.
It includes Wayne Bulpitt CBE (CEO of Aspida Group, and Chair of the Association of Guernsey Charities), Richard Field (Partner and Guernsey lead for Technology & Innovation at Appleby), Alice Joy (Director at the Guernsey Financial Services Commission), Callie Loveridge (Head of Data Protection at the States of Guernsey), and Stephanie Luce (Head of Legal and Governance at the Jersey Cyber Security Centre, and Chair of Islands Data Governance Forum).
The authority claims their collective expertise will be instrumental in identifying areas for improvement, addressing emerging challenges, and ensuring that the guidance remains relevant and up-to-date.
The panel will meet twice a year to discuss current trends, emerging risks, and potential improvements to the guidance.
Commissioner of the ODPA, Brent Homan, said: “One of our key Regulatory Pillars is partnership, which includes getting meaningful feedback from experts in the Bailiwick.
“It is critical to continually enhance our guidance towards promoting compliance in the regulated community. We need to ask ourselves - is it hitting the right mark, what is working well, what is missing, and what future risks should we start thinking about now?”
