I’ll second NADPO. I have no experience of the IRMS.
Also consider the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP) which has a wealth of resources albeit with a much broader geographical coverage.

Hi everyone
As a newbie to data protection, are there any data protection associations/societies that you would recommend joining?
Thank you
Janet
