Bloor organises regular events for our end-user and vendor communities including:
  • Annual Bloor Symposium
  • Executive programme events such as roundtables, workshops and seminars
  • Executive peer-to-peer networking events
  • Tele-briefings and Webinars
We have found that CIOs and other senior executives are keen to engage in discussion and debate with technology partners. Bloor brings relevant service and technology partners together with our CIO and leadership communities, in ways that maximise the value to both, making them mutually beneficial conversations. Bloor events enable CIOs and other senior executives to come together with technology vendors and service providers in a non-sales environment for the mutual benefit of both the vendor and the business. What sets Bloor apart from other providers are three key points:
  • We have close relationships with many of the most successful CIOs around the world
  • The calibre of our facilitator, often an ex-CIO, will create a frank, honest, and constructive atmosphere where you can gain the insight into what your target audience thinks.
  • Being vendor, media & research agnostic, we are recognised by the CIO community as an independent voice, able to create mutually-beneficial conversations between CIOs and vendors
Bloor is happy to assist you if your organisation is running or participating in an event. For instance, we can provide a speaker on an appropriate topic from among our independent analysts or a facilitator. Where appropriate we can carry out background research on the issues being addressed. For more information, please contact us.

More Information / Register

“The Data Handling Procedures in Government” report (‘the Report’) sets out clear and mandatory procedures to be followed by all UK government employees that have access to – and responsibility for – citizen data.

Individual departments, as of June 2008, have a responsibility to show compliance on their progress in meeting the requirements of the new Data Handling procedures, including enforcing policies to manage the use of removable media and to encrypt laptops and USB memory sticks. Electronic data must be stored and shared in a way that ensures the protection of this information while also improving the government’s provision of services such as healthcare, benefits, child welfare and law enforcement.

In this webinar, you will:

  • Learn the requirements set forth in the Report regarding consistency, culture, scrutiny and accountability
  • Learn the key steps and capabilities to effectively protect citizens’ data through visibility and control of removable media used by government personnel, auditing of data transferred to and from such media, and the encryption of data stored on removable devices.
  • Find out whether this Report has so far produced noticeable results
  • Listen to industry experts analysing the Report and sharing their views on the UK government’s ability to handle citizen’s data securely
