UK’s DPA promises regulatory sandbox for digital innovations

Businesses developing innovative digital products and services will be able to test that their solutions comply with data protection laws under a new scheme promised by the UK’s Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).

“The ICO sandbox will enable organisations to develop innovative digital products and services, whilst engaging with the regulator, ensuring that appropriate protections and safeguards are in place,” the strategy paper said. “As part of the sandbox process the ICO would provide advice on mitigating risks and data protection by design.”
