Taking care of UK data protection compliance remotely
Data Protection as a Service
Does your company need to be registered for Data Protection?
If you process personal data in the UK…the answer is YES. Unless you fall under the charity or manufacturing exemption.
So, what’s the worst that can happen?
You could be fined between £400 and £4000 for non-registration, but even worse, you are now on the radar for the Information Commissioner’s Office.
What does the ICO expect to see?
- Appropriate policies and procedures
- Compliant customer information
- Good staff training
Where can we help?
There are many compliance checks we can carry out remotely on website content, policies and procedures and privacy notices to help you build a file of evidence of regular compliance checks. We do not need to be on site to review your GDPR records and undertake many of the compliance checks that you need to make to ensure you meet the GDPR Accountability Principle.
