In this episode of the Data Protection Made Easy podcast, Caine Glancy and Amber Sivill discussed how organisations can move beyond tick-box data protection training and create learning that changes behaviour.

They explored what makes training relevant, practical and easier for staff to apply in their everyday work. The discussion also considered how effective training can support better decisions and reduce data protection risk.

In this episode of GDPR Radio, Caine Glancy and Catarina Santos discuss the latest data protection news and key developments from across the industry.

This episode of GDPR Radio, part of the Data Protection Made Easy podcast, was hosted by Caine Glancy and Catarina Santos.

In this episode, they discussed the key trends, biggest talking points and shared expert insight into the latest developments from the last two weeks across the data protection industry.

As always, listeners joined live, used the live chat function and had the opportunity to unmute, ask the hosts questions and be part of the discussion.

Records of Processing Activities (RoPAs) are often viewed as nothing more than a compliance requirement, but are organisations missing their true value?

In this episode of the Data Protection Made Easy Podcast, Catarina Santos is joined by Data Protection Consultant Himanshi to discuss how RoPAs can become one of the most valuable tools in an organisation's privacy programme.

Together, they explore why so many organisations struggle with RoPAs, the common mistakes they see, and how a well-maintained RoPA can support risk management, DPIAs, Subject Access Requests, and day-to-day compliance.

They also discuss ownership, practical implementation, and why a RoPA should be treated as a living document rather than a spreadsheet that's only updated during an audit.

Whether you're building your first RoPA or looking to get more value from an existing one, this episode offers practical advice to help you turn compliance into strategy.
