Stepping back to 11 November 2025… ✨ At the glamorous 2025 PICCASO Privacy Awards held at the JW Marriott Grosvenor House in London, the data-privacy community came together to champion the trailblazers of the year. From rising stars to seasoned leaders, the evening celebrated individuals and organisations who are shaping the future of privacy, data ethics and security. Special congratulations to the winners — from SMEs to global enterprises — whose dedication to data governance, ethical practices, and privacy-first innovation is driving real change. Their work reminds us that privacy isn’t just about compliance… it’s about building trust and putting people first. Here’s to raising the bar — and to making privacy a shared responsibility across all sectors.
