In Episode 2 of Practical Privacy, Orla Dormer is joined by Helen Graham, Global Head of Privacy at IVC Evidensia, to unpack one of the biggest challenges privacy teams face today: keeping up with a constant wave of new and evolving data legislation.
As regulatory expectations expand across jurisdictions, privacy leaders are under pressure not just to interpret the law, but to operationalise it in a way that works for the business.

What we cover in this episode
This conversation explores:
- Why compliance cannot be treated as a purely legal exercise
- How operational context is essential to understanding real business impact
- The importance of cross-functional collaboration across legal, tech, HR, and leadership
- The complexity of aligning privacy programmes across multiple markets
- The reality that privacy professionals must continually explain and defend why privacy matters
Helen reflects candidly on leadership, stakeholder buy-in, and what it really takes to embed privacy into day-to-day operations rather than leaving it as a policy on paper.
One clear theme runs throughout the episode:
Privacy becomes scalable and sustainable only when it is understood beyond the legal team and embedded across the organisation.
