GDPR is designed with today’s technology in mind and brings data protection regulation into the 21st century and strengthens the privacy rights of EU citizens, giving them more control.
Our GDPR consultancy service is designed to help you, as a data controller, assess your high-level compliance with data protection legislation which includes the new rights of individuals, handling subject access requests, consent, data breaches, and designating a data protection officer, under the General Data Protection Regulation.
Over the last few years, a number of potential and actual security breaches have been reported. When these are reported and investigated by the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) their first port of call is to check on the governance arrangements for information security, including whether an organisation has a Senior Information Risk Owner (SIRO) and/or Data Protection Officer.
The magnitude for fines has increased dramatically and can be up to 4% of global turnover.
