Dave has been working in IT since 1977 when large companies celebrated a memory upgrade to 32kB.
In his career, he has worked as a developer, database administrator, systems programmer, operations and technical delivery manager, software support engineer, release and implementation manager.

His technical itch is satisfied by building WordPress sites, which he has been doing since 2012.
The talk ‘Follow the data’
Today’s WordPress environment generally results in numerous organisations managing either our data or the hardware and software that it relies upon.
Although we subcontract out parts of our WordPress infrastructure we are still accountable for the data processed by our Websites.
This talk takes a look at a typical WordPress set up and follows the journey that a user’s data might take and some potential threats at each point on its journey.
It looks at what we can do to minimise our exposure to risk of outsourcing management of our infrastructure, the considerations we should make and what questions we should be asking of our hosts.
