A DMH Stallard panel debate held yesterday, Securing Your Data in the Data Explosion, saw a lively discussion amongst over 40 senior business leaders on both the strategic and technical issues surrounding data security.

Key issues raised by the panel, with speakers from ASOS, Blackfoot, DMH Stallard and Ramsac, included the pros and cons of Bring Your Own Device polices, the issues surrounding the deletion of data and the role of IT departments in moving businesses forward in an increasingly data driven age.

Discussions and debate revealed some reluctance and uncertainty from directors on how to adopt best practice to address some of the issues raised, which was attributed to a number of factors. Security, compliance and who to ask for a second opinion remain key obstacles to moving the businesses forward in terms of IT innovation.

New Subscription Rules Are Coming: Is Your Business Ready?

Businesses and consumers have grown to love subscription models, though their reasons may differ. While these models offer convenience, they can be complicated and difficult to exit. This may lead to consumers paying for services they no longer want or use. The government is addressing this through the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024. The new rules are expected to come into force in January 2027.

However, misuse of Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPAs) can lead to disputes or financial abuse. Challenges to gifts or LPAs may arise from capacity issues, undue influence, or mismanagement.
