2019 was a year of tremendous growth and change for us, where the industry took note and recognised us for our approaches to data quality, innovation, leadership and I&D.

Connecting Data Sources with Security

Posted by David Tripepi on Oct 7, 2019

The biggest misconception since the launch of GDPR is the belief the European legislation, published in May 2018, changed the landscape of privacy and security. However, what it actually did was set more stringent checks on the preexisting legal processes and privacy compliance, as well as increase the level of accountability through heftier penalty charges for those noncompliant.

So, how do we manage data and connect data sources safely without fear of handling the personal data of our customers and respondents in a careless manner?

We should start by stating the obvious concept of anonymisation.

Posted by Rebecca Koppie on Aug 28, 2019

This article was first published by Admap Magazine in August 2019

A “selfie” can now open a bank account.

In some places, anyway. In June, Natwest, part of the Royal Bank of Scotland, became the first major UK bank
to allow customers to quickly open a new bank account – without visiting a bank branch – by uploading
documents and submitting a selfie on their mobile device. This continues a trend set by several banks in other
regions, including the Philippines and South Africa. In the United States, reports of the advent of “selfie banking”
were abundant in 2016 and 2017, but so far it is not an option.
