Complying with the Data Protection Act (DPA 2018) and General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a given for anyone doing business in the UK, but often the nuances of the regulation are taken for granted, leaving a gaping hole in the compliance of an organisation. Gartner statistics show that although 47% of businesses have suffered a breach, it takes an average of 256 days for it to be detected and then it is almost always detected by a 3rd party. This growing problem is a good reason to ensure that, when your breach is detected, the 3rd party doesn’t want to sue you for non-compliance or the Information Commissioner fine you a substantial sum.
A compliance audit will prove your position on the day, and of course we offer this as a service, but more importantly to maintain compliance reviews should be conducted at regular intervals, and changes in any systems or operations should be scrutinised for corresponding compliance effects.
