Welcome to the first episode of Guardians of Data, brought to you by Act Now Training. This is the show where we explore the world of information law and information governance - from privacy and AI to cybersecurity and freedom of information. We also talk to experienced IG leaders who have spent years at the frontline of data protection and information rights.
In this first episode we are joined by Jon Baines, a Senior Data Protection Specialist at Mishcon de Reya LLP where he advises on complex data protection and FOI matters. Jon isn’t a lawyer in the traditional sense yet is listed in Legal 500 as a "Rising Star" in the Data Protection, Privacy and Cybersecurity category. Jon is the long-standing chair of the National Association of Data Protection and Freedom of Information Officers (NADPO). He is regularly sought for comment by specialist and national media and writes extensively on data protection matters.
In our conversation, Jon shares his journey into IG, his advice for both new starters and seasoned professionals and his perspective on the future of the profession.
