To varying degrees, Caribbean countries are grappling with the issue of privacy and data protection. Countries that have more recent frameworks have been struggling to fully operationalise all of the provisions, whilst there are others that have not adopted current best practice in the space.

During our conversation, we discuss: how privacy and data protection have evolved over the past few years; the current status of regulatory enforcement; areas of divergence or contradiction that multinational companies operating across the Caribbean must navigate; and trends or emerging developments that the Caribbean region may need to consider.

Although we are at the end of the 2025 North Atlantic Hurricane Season, we are only six months away from the start of the 2026 hurricane season. Moreover, other hazards or disasters, such as fire, earthquake, or even a utility failure due to a cyberattack, can occur at any time. Fabian Lewis, a telecommunications, emergency medicine and disaster management specialist from Saint Lucia, joins us to discuss how we as individuals, organisations and countries can improve our telecoms resilience and increase the chances that we will be able to remain connected when we need it most. Among other things, we discuss: what makes the Caribbean particularly vulnerable when it comes to telecoms and ICT disruptions during disasters; whether amateur radio is still important in a country’s disaster/emergency communications management effort; and common mistakes organisations make when preparing (or failing to prepare) their telecoms and ICT systems for disasters.
