Tech policy refers to the rules, regulations, and guidelines that govern the development, use, and impact of technology on society. It covers a broad range of issues, from data privacy and cybersecurity to artificial intelligence and digital ethics. At its core, tech policy ensures that technology is used in ways that are safe, ethical, and beneficial to society.
Why Tech Policy Matters
Tech policy isn’t just about regulation—it shapes the very fabric of how technology is integrated into industries and society. Whether you're a public sector body, a private corporation, or an NGO, the influence of tech policy is undeniable.
From regulatory compliance and laws such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in Europe to cybersecurity and AI ethics, organisations are faced with increased scrutiny on how they use technology. To secure trust and reputation, with customers, partners and regulators, organisations must ensure they have a robust adherance to tech policies. For this, it is important to have the individuals and teams with the relevant technical and policy knowledge and experience which in turns requires a reliable source of talent.
