Data Protection and Digital Information Bill (DPDIB)

about-image

GDPR regulation

Probably the most significant data security law in the world, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) requires all organisations – wherever they are in the world – that process the personal data of EU residents to comply with the Regulation. It recognises the value and importance of our personal information, and the aim is for it to become part of the fabric of an organisation in the same way as for example Health and Safety. Do you comply?

Upon leaving the EU the UK has adopted all the regulations that were under the GDPR regulations, and they are now called Data Protection and Digital Information Bill (DPDIB).

Does DPDIB Affect You?

Organisations found in breach of the regulations can face fines of up to £20million, or 4% of annual turnover, whichever is greater, (and also potential lawsuits from data subjects affected) and therefore significant enough to make compliance economically sensible. Could your business survive the financial cost of non-compliance?

We Are The Missing Link are able to offer a number of services to assist you in ensuring that your business is operating within the forthcoming regulations:

You’re not sure what personal data you hold or where it resides:

Solution: Data Flow Audit

A great starting point when transitioning to a compliant framework, here we look at the lifecycle of the information you are processing prior to compliance. Once complete you will have a full inventory of your data process as it currently stands

You are Uncertain How Much Your Organisation Complies with DPDIB

Solution: DPDIB Gap Analysis

Once your data flow audit is completed we are then able to review your existing privacy management and information security arrangements against the requirements of the regulation. Once completed you will have a report detailing what is required to achieve compliance.

You don’t know the data protection risks of introducing a new system or process
