Several months into the COVID-19 lockdown, many of us are working from home in circumstances that were never anticipated. Many of us are operating without the right technical and organizational structures to manage the information we are processing. Data protection authorities around the world have reinforced the fact that while they may be reasonable about the challenges that organizations face in managing data protection and information security, the laws still apply.
