Keep a close eye on EU data protection/retention laws and agreements and how Brexit will affect the UK's ability to trade with the EU in that way.

Currently the UK's Department For Brexit has stated they have no idea what will happen there.

That's likely to have an impact on any tech company trading with the EU that uses or accesses personal data.

That applies to everything not just Data Protection/Retention.

They have no plan, no mandate for what they are doing and no sensible way to even begin the planning.
