The Joint Data Protection Committee, formed by the Lloyd’s Market Association (LMA) and the International Underwriting Association (IUA), provides a unified forum for managing agents and company market insurers to address data protection and privacy challenges across the London insurance market.
With data governance and regulatory compliance becoming increasingly critical, the committee plays an essential role in promoting consistent approaches to data protection, including adherence to UK GDPR and related legislation. It facilitates industry-wide discussions on key topics such as lawful data processing, data subject rights, international data transfers and incident response strategies.
The committee collaborates closely with regulatory authorities and professional bodies to ensure that market participants stay informed, aligned and proactive in managing data protection risks. It also develops guidance, shares insights and fosters best practices to support the secure and compliant handling of personal data throughout the insurance lifecycle.
