BIO:
Our speaker this month is Xander Smith. Xander has been creating and delivering custom DevOps solutions for 6 years that test GDPR, SOC2 and PCI compliance. He enjoys brewing beer, playing guitar, and coding arcade games.

TALK SUMMARY:
In 2016 the EU passed a regulation whose seismic ripples continue to shake the foundations of the internet and its data handling. Whether you like it or not, GDPR affects you and your employer or company even if you never do business in the EU. Come learn what this unpronouceable acronym is all about and how to handle the changes it requires. Whether you're just a smartphone user, part of the IT department or a legal professional, you should be ready to handle GDPR and be familar with how it has already impacted data privacy.
