Professional associations play a critical role in shaping standards, ethics, and responsible practice across sectors. Today, we held an engagement with professional associations, focusing on data protection, privacy, and cyber security. As custodians of large volumes of member and public data, these associations are increasingly exposed to digital risks and compliance obligations. The discussions focused on how to strengthen responsible data handling, improve compliance with data protection requirements, and enhance cyber security practices within professional work environments. #BeeraKuGuard #PersonalDataisPrivate

Today, as part of the ongoing #BeeraKuGuard campaign, together with @NITAUganda1, we engaged communicators at Next Media Park.

We appreciate the communicators for their active participation and commitment to promoting privacy-aware and secure digital communication. #BeeraKuGuard #PersonalDataisPrivate
