Data Protection GDPR Consulting
Data Protection Consulting Services from SHCO could help you stay the right side of the Data Protection Act 2018 and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Data protection compliance can be confusing.
The basic principles of data protection haven’t changed greatly since the introduction of GDPR, although some specifics have, and the risks associated with non-compliance are now much greater. Since May 2018, the maximum penalty for non-compliance is 4% of global turnover.
Timescales to report breaches and deal with requests from data subjects are shorter so it’s important to have streamlined processes so you are able to respond in a timely fashion.
Our consultants can assist with a range of Data Protection Consulting Services, from a Gap Analysis to help you identify where you may fall short of the regulations to a full DPO Service:
Data protection rules haven’t changed much since GDPR.
Personal Data should be:
Collected for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes.
Processed fairly and lawfully.
Adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary.
Accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date.
Kept for no longer than is necessary.
Processed in a manner that ensures appropriate security
But the devil is in the details, and the details do change, so you need to be up to date. Also, penalties can now be as much as 4% of global turnover, and there is much greater accountability and burden of proof on the data controller, so the risks to your business are now significantly higher.
There are much higher standards for consent and increased rights for the data subject in the areas of rectification, erasure, restriction, objection and data portability. This means your data protection policies and procedures need to be more robust than ever before.
