On Thursday 25th February we were delighted to have Charles Helleputte of UCLouvain and a Partner in Steptoe present a fascinating webinar entitled ‘Is EU cybersecurity the missing piece to sustainable digital environment?’. Charles is a partner heading the EU cybersecurity, data, and privacy practice at Steptoe. He focuses on existing EU and national cybersecurity, data, and privacy laws such as the NIS Directive, GDPR or the Cybersecurity Act and on upcoming developments such as NIS 2, DORA, the Digital Services Act, the Data Governance Act or the ePrivacy Regulation. He provides practical and pragmatic advice to clients faced with increased accountability requirements towards users, helping organizations testing new responses, such as broader use of standards or certification mechanisms across the data lifecycle in a wide range of industries (regulated and not regulated).
Charles lectures at UCLouvain and is part of the interdisciplinary research group DRAILS (Data, Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, Law and Society). He holds a Certified Information Privacy Professional/Europe (CIPP/E) certification. He is a former co-chair of the Brussels KnowledgeNet Chapter of the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP) and an appointed Legal Expert at ENISA, the European Union Cybersecurity Agency. He is a member of IAPP EU Advisory Board.
