from Regulated Digital · host Sam Kendall, Beyond Encryption

Online safety depends on knowing enough about people to protect them.Data protection asks a quieter question: how much do we really need to know?The Online Safety Act and UK data protection law are often spoken about separately.In practice, they meet at one of the most sensitive points in digital life: how organisations verify people, protect children, limit access, and keep data collection proportionate.The same tension appears in age assurance, subject access requests (SARs), standard email, digital identity, and the practical steps leadership teams can take without the work becoming overwhelming.For this episode, we caught up with Founder and CEO of Beyond Encryption Paul Holland, to talk about how organisations can balance safety, privacy, and identity, in real-world customer journeys.Learn more on our website: https://www.beyondencryption.com/blog/data-protection-online-safety
