Data Protection in a regulated, connected, Digital World.

The process for becoming compliant can often be complex, confusing, difficult to understand, and difficult to cost; especially when considering the impact to the business. Similarly, it is often difficult to understand the consequences of not being compliant and not taking appropriate actions.

We can help you to understand the critical nature of data protection and compliance for your organisation, to ensure your systems and data are secure and in compliance with all your regulatory requirements.

Data Protection typically considers protecting Personally Identifiable Information, to make sure that as personal data is gathered and stored, it is used responsibly and transparently. The more we process digitally, and the more accessible information becomes, the greater the need to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of the data under your management. The key principles under DPA that your governance, compliance and assurance regime needs to take account of includes:

• Lawfulness, fairness and transparency - Purpose limitation - Data minimisation - Accuracy - Storage limitation - Integrity and confidentiality - Accountability

As a Digital organisation, DPA overlaps with our need to operate "Due Diligence" in managing our corporate systems, and company data, as well as "Due Care" to ensure we handle information responsibly. Our Cyber Security Policies and Information Security Management System will have a direct relationship with our DPA processes and policies.
