        It may do.

        For those of us working the seam and who are experienced it’s a goldmine but only because it’s what we’ve been doing for years.

        I’ve been audited by technical auditors who have had to be told what SSO and IPSec vs SSL VPNs are (yep) and they’re Practitioners signing off on my clients’ InfoSec postures

          I've never met an auditor who knows anything more than the very basics about how computer systems are constructed.

            Yes and it’s getting far worse. I thought CLAS consultants were box tickets until the big consultancies started with the GDPR Gangs. I spend around 1 day a week filling in dreadful questionnaires.

              This is not going to help much although to offset slightly RBS are doing better than expected (shame they are letting people go left right & centre though!)

                They come from the same stock as "Consultants" who are fresh faced out of University.

                    That’s ridiculous.
                    GDPR is here to stay. 25th May is just the start.
                    Y2K was over on 1st Jan 2000

                      Our GDPR project just ended. In the end there wasn't much to do.
