Drop-ins are also welcome. ‘We are running a clinic to inform local businesses that if approached correctly it is nothing to be scared of,’ said Dave. The session is free of charge will include a talk and questions. The Olive Group has also produced an online course that takes 40 minutes to complete. It is being endorsed by the Restaurant Association of Ireland and HFW and it is also accredited by The Insurance Institute. To sign up, go to gdprcourse.com.

‘When you hear the term “data breach”, you might immediately picture a team of shadowy hackers extracting sensitive information from streams of code,’ said the Olive Group in a statement. ‘The reality is, an organisation stands to lose far more from careless mistakes by its own employees than it does from hackers.’
