Sophie joined William Malcolm (Privacy Legal Director at Google), Radha Gohil (Data Ethics Strategy Lead at Shell), and Anne Woodley (Security Specialist at Microsoft) in untangling what data ethics actually means and how best to support it. Here we look at this in more detail.
Data bias: the insidious threat lurking in your data unless you’ve taken active steps to mitigate it. It causes the potential to harm, skew or invalidate your data completely – or sometimes all three at once.
The dreaded data ditch. You might not even know your organization is stuck in it – the company might still be acting on gut feel as opposed to relying on data, the data you have might be ungoverned and inaccurate, or you’re waiting weeks, even months, for your teams to glean useful insights.

In our latest update of the Data Privacy Periodic Table , we included reference to the EU’s June 2021 release of substantially updated Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), triggered by 2020’s Schrems II ruling.
