There's a lot to update on since the last edition. We issued a raft of opinions over the summer, three of them on the European Commission package of reforms in Justice and Home Affairs. You can also catch up on what quantum computing means for the data we encrypt today and a new TechDispatch on how organisations can collaborate on data without compromising privacy.
The EDPS has published a new TechDispatch on secure multi-party computation (SMPC), a cryptographic technique that lets organisations jointly compute results from their data without revealing it to one another.
It’s a shorter edition this time, as the summer break approaches, but there’s plenty to catch up on. Whether you prefer reading or listening, stay up to date with the latest developments in data protection and digital policy.

More and more, increased technological sophistication is putting the onus on the humans operating digital systems to ensure they run as intended. That is why the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) chose as its theme for European Cybersecurity Month (ECSM) 2026 ‘The Human Compass: navigating the future through cyber awareness’. In recent times, this topic has been a prominent focus of the work of the EDPS.
