• Auditing

  A good way to assess your data protection compliance is to have an audit of your processes and procedures.

• Policy Review and Drafting

  To ensure compliance with data protection law it is essential you and your staff know how to collect and process personal data correctly.

• Helpline, Advice & Support

  We can provide a general data protection helpline service to your organisation, in which we can help with those routine data protection queries.

• Data Sharing Agreements

  If you need to share the personal data you collect from your customers with other organisations either routinely or as a one off you need to ensure that sharing is done in compliance with the law.

• ICO Invetigations Handling

  Do you know what to do if you receive a letter from the Information Commissioner's Office informing you a complaint has been made about the way you have handled someone's personal data?

• Privacy Impact Assessments

  It is currently a mandatory requirement for Government Departments to undertake PIAs and is strongly recommended for all other organisations.

• Training

  One of the biggest risks to the security of personal data in any organisation is its staff. It is a requirement of data protection law that you ensure your staff know how to collect and process personal data appropriately.
