Our world has changed. Our warfare is now digital as we combat crime and espionage, sabotage and fake news. New rules and laws need to be put in place and procedures which protect us from those who seek to undermine. It is with this in mind that this guide has been written. For those who are new to data protection and in particular data protection impact assessments, this guide will provide some insight. It is not my desire to teach you the fundamentals here, only to demonstrate how it all comes together and how important we all are to ensuring success. The Data Protection Impact Assessment is a requirement under the General Data Protection Regulations, in an attempt to control risk and practise data protection by design. These rules are far reaching and their full impact has not been explored as Europe endeavours to protect itself, essential services and citizens from the possible dangers of vital information falling into the wrong hands. This book moves away from the jargon and focuses on the practical although it is written with telecommunications and technology companies in mind. If you are however seeking an understanding of impact assessments and what is entailed this guide will go a long way to giving you a glimpse of the process.

A Guide to Stress-Free Data Protection Impact Assessments

Farmers, who own or rent most of the private land in America, hold the key not only to the nation's food supply, but also to managing community growth, maintaining an attractive landscape, and protecting water and wildlife resources.
While the issue of protecting farmland and open space is not new, the intensity of the challenge has increased. Farmers are harder pressed to make a living, and rural and suburban communities are struggling to accommodate increasing populations and the development that comes with them. Holding Our Ground can help landowners and communities devise and implement effective strategies for protecting farmland. The book: 
<ul>
<li>discusses the reasons for protecting farmland and how to make those reasons widely known and understood </li>
<li>describes the business of farming, federal government farm programs, and the role of land in farmers's decisions </li>
<li>analyzes federal, state, and local farmland protection efforts and techniques </li>
<li>explores a variety of land protection options including purchase of development rights; transfer of development rights; private land trusts; and financial, tax, and estate planning </li>
<li>reviews the strengths and weaknesses of the farmland protection tools available </li>
</ul> The authors describe the many challenges involved in protecting farmland and explain how to create a package of techniques that can meet those challenges. In addition, they offer appendixes with model zoning ordinances, nuisance disclaimers, conservation easements, and other documents that individuals and communities need to carry out the programs discussed.Holding Our Ground provides citizens, elected officials, planners, and landowners with a solid basis for understanding the issues behind farmland protection, and will be an invaluable resource in developing techniques and programs for achieving long-term protection goals.
