The event kicked off with the presentation of the Cyprus results from the DPO survey, conducted at the end of 2023 in association with 10 Grant Thornton member firms in Europe.

Introducing the Europrivacy Certification - The European Data Protection Seal
The event introduced the Europrivacy Certification, the only GDPR certification officially recognised across all EU Member States.
