If you are a business in Ireland then here is a podcast I highly recommend that you listen to – it’s an interview I did with Hugh Jones a data protection specialist who works with the Irish Computer Society when at their conference this week.

In the podcast we talk about the ICS ‘Data Protection Attitudes and Practices Survey 2011′ and cover insights and tips that were shared at the conference.  Listen to the podcast streaming below or subscribe to it on iTunes.
