The Data Protection Challenge

Many organisations undertook significant projects to prepare for the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) deadline of May 2018. However, since then, many have failed to embed data protection into business-as-usual activities.

Data protection frameworks have struggled to keep up with internal and external changes. Some organisations do not have specialist in-house resources fully dedicated to data protection; this is where expert GDPR compliance consultants can help.

The regulators’ expectations are being further clarified on an ongoing basis through additional guidance, enforcement and court cases. Recently, there has been an increasing trend for regulators to issue enforcement actions and fines in cases involving non-compliance.

Our data protection specialists help organisations assess their compliance against the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO)’s expectations and deliver a remediation plan to achieve a defensible position. We also offer a Virtual Data Protection Officer (vDPO) service to provide technical support and advice as required by clients who may not have the required in-house expertise.

Gain confidence and clarity. Take the next step ...

Data Protection Gap Assessment

The ICO has an Accountability Tracker toolkit to help businesses achieve a defensible data protection position. This toolkit further clarifies their expectations, which are grouped into ten key themes with two additional themes added by our team reflecting ICO guidance on the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulation (“PECR”). We apply this methodology to conduct a thorough and independent gap assessment of your data protection framework as well as a thorough GDPR data audit.
