GENERAL DATA PROTECTION REGULATION

The Data Protection Act 2018 supplements the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) which came into force on May 25, 2018 and was designed to modernise the laws that protect the use of personal information.
 
The new legislation impacts every business in the UK. It is essential that companies are aware of the changes and new obligations and all businesses should register with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).

How we can help
C3C can audit your business and identify where work is needed to be brought into compliance with the new legislation.

We are able to assist with data mapping and conducting data protection impact risk assessments (DPIA).

We can provide the framework for an Information Security Management System (ISMS) and have developed a comprehensive Toolkit to assist with implementation of the policies and procedures that may need creating or updating.

GDPR Staff Awareness e-Learning Course
The GDPR requires companies to record and monitor employee training and this is a vital aspect of evidencing that a company is complying with the GDPR.

This low cost but comprehensive course provides a practical application of the GDPR for your staff.

On completion employees will understand the purpose of the GDPR and the best practice processes and procedures that are required to be followed when handling personal data.

Why employees need to understand the GDPR 

Employees have to understand the risks to the company, both financial and reputational, as well as the risk to themselves.

Employees need to understand:

1. The care they need to take when handling personal data
2. Why there are policies and procedures in place
3. Why they need to comply with those policies

This is so that employees can relate the policies and procedures a company has in place to their day to day roles when they handle data as part of their daily working life.

The 'Your Data Matters' Campaign
​
The ICO aims to increase the public's trust and confidence in how their data is used and made available. 

The ICO has opened a public register for organisations wanting to pledge their support for their customers data rights.

Organisations who sign the public register gain access to a banner for use on their communication materials. This helps demonstrate their supports for people’s data rights and carries the ICO logo.
