CompleteGRC and Nuix recently brought the latest instalment of The Resilience Series to the historic setting of Barberstown Castle – and it was a day to remember. Privacy professionals, compliance leaders, and public sector representatives gathered for a full day of learning, collaboration, and connection, all centred on a single big idea: how organisations can transform compliance from a checkbox exercise into a genuine strategic enabler.
Here’s a look back at how the day unfolded.
Three Themes, One Day
🗂️ Records Management & Archiving
The day opened with a deep dive into the practical realities of managing an organisation’s information lifecycle and retention obligations. Dan Ayiotis, Director of The Military Archives, led this session, sharing hard-won strategies for keeping records management sustainable and audit-ready.
🔍 DPIAs & Data Protection Compliance
Next up was a session on risk assessment and regulatory expectations, facilitated by Hugh Jones, Privacy Programme Lead at Solventum. Attendees left with a clearer sense of how to approach Data Protection Impact Assessments in a way that satisfies regulators without slowing the business down.
🛡️ Data Protection Meets Cybersecurity
Rounding out the themes, the team from Nuix explored the intersection of data protection and cybersecurity, offering insights into data discovery and analytics – and how the two disciplines increasingly need to work hand in hand.
Voices from the Day
The event also featured a strong lineup of guest speakers, including:
- Dr. Maria Moloney – Strategic AI Network & PrivacyEngine
- Naoise Ó Cearúil TD – Spokesperson on Artificial Intelligence
- Robert Savage – VP Sales UK&I Public Sector, Nuix
Their perspectives added valuable context on where AI, policy, and data protection are heading – and what that means for organisations navigating compliance today.
