Gerrard Fisher - Keeping Your Data Safe with GDPR

Gerrard helps small businesses protect client information and avoid the embarrassment of losing sensitive client data. He's a qualified GDPR practitioner with a knack for simplifying the complex rules and regulations into actions every business can take.

Gerrard launched Astrid in 2018 - aware that thousands of small businesses handle sensitive client data, Gerrard is on a mission to help safeguard that information by empowering small business owners with the right tools and tips. Along the way, his clients avoid the financial penalties of not complying with GDPR too!

In this interview, I ask him

• What is GDPR?
• What are the common mistakes small businesses make concerning GDPR?
• How to share data easily?
• What are some good and trusted resources to store data online?
• How often to change password?
• What changes have you seen in the last 12 months?
• How to protect yourself at home?
• What can Astrid offer the small business owner?
