Privacy Day 2025: A Milestone for Data Protection
On today, the 28 January 2025, we celebrate Data Protection Day, a significant date reminding us of the importance of data protection in our increasingly digital world. This day marks the 44th anniversary of the signing of the European Data Protection Convention in 1981, the foundation of today’s privacy legislation.

Privacy by Design: From Concept to Reality
Seven years after the introduction of the GDPR, Privacy by Design has matured into a well-established field. The ‘shift left’ concept demonstrates how early attention to privacy in development processes not only simplifies compliance but also creates value.

Challenges and Trends for 2025

  1. NIS2 Directive: Organisations in critical sectors must better secure their digital infrastructure against cyberattacks.
  2. AI and Privacy: New regulations will impose stricter requirements for transparency and accountability in AI systems processing personal data.
  3. Enhanced Data Security: Companies must adopt zero-trust security models, implement encrypted data protocols, and conduct regular risk assessments.
