Laura Palmariello

I am a Data Protection and Privacy Consultant, specialising in practical, people centred approaches to privacy and information governance. My mission is to bring the human side of data protection to the profession. I was the runner up for the IRMS Professional of the Year Award in 2024 and and deliver and develop accredited training in the field. I train and consult for organisations across health, care, education, HR and corporate sectors, combining regulatory expertise with real world operational insight. I am a regular speaker at industry events, sharing experience on topics such as data protection, privacy and ethics, and the human side of compliance. I help organisations move from seeing data protection as a compliance burden and a blocker to viewing it as an essential part of trust, accountability, and professional integrity.
