Our first Business Bites of 2026 took place on the 25th Februrary on the topic of Strengthening Data Protection in Cultural Collections: The London Library’s Audit with Naomi Korn Associates.
The session discussed how the London Library had partnered with Naomi Korn Associates to undertake a comprehensive data protection audit of its catalogue records. It outlined why the audit was commissioned, the risks it addressed, and the practical steps taken to strengthen compliance and safeguard member data. Attendees gained insights into key findings, lessons learned, and the value of embedding privacy‑aware information management practices within cultural heritage organisations.
Why archivists should attend:
- Learn how to identify and manage data protection risks hidden within legacy or large‑scale catalogue systems.
- Gain practical takeaways for improving the governance, accuracy and security of descriptive records.
- Understand how to approach audits in a way that supports transparency, accountability and public trust.
- Take away ideas for strengthening organisational readiness ahead of future compliance reviews.
