Hi all,

Apologies if this post is not allowed here!

I was curious as to what people's views are on this particular area.

In terms of law, what will change or what will be implemented for computer security/cybercrime? Data protection? CMA? Something will have to change as we are going to have independence whereas currently, EU laws protect us. What current laws are going to be changed/adopted?

All opinions are welcome - like I say, I want to get other views on this.

There is a few things online currently about GDPR, but is this enough?

I look forward to reading your responses!

Dan

General consensus in my HTU is that very little will change for many years. Given that apparently Brexit means Brexit but nobody actually knows what Brexit means (least of all our supposed leaders) it's probably a safe bet that UK law will largely continue as it is or existing EU frameworks and regulations will be absorbed into our own 'new' independent legislature where necessary. The resources or willingness to make large changes quickly just won't be there - look at the disjointed, lurching progress of ISO17025 for an example of what I mean. In years to come we may find that UK law starts, slowly, to differ noticeably from EU law but that all depends on the actual terms of our exit, the government of the day and of course whether the EU survives in its current form, none of which I would put strong money on at this point. But until then the priorities will be trying to scrawl trade deals down on the back of f*g packets and stop the currency from tanking further. Interesting times ahead roll
