Securing supply chain data: The Kenyan legal framework

We shall have a Masterclass of the Cybersecurity and Data Privacy legal frameworks that have been enacted by Parliament into law and how they impact our supply chains as well as how we can implement them in our day-to-day operations.
The discussions shall focus on the Kenyan context, but we shall also tie it to the existing laws available globally like the GDPR.
