ensuring DPA compliance
the challenge:
Our client’s auditors had raised concerns over their compliance
with all the provisions of the Data Protection Act 1998. Our
client attended a recent data protection law training session we
had delivered and instructed us to undertake an evaluation of its
sites and working practices to rectify any compliance issues.
our approach:
Prior to visiting their sites we asked each area of the
organisation to complete a pre-audit form, allowing us to identify
the areas of need and focus or attentions in an efficient
manner. We interviewed staff, examined files and assessed the
technological measures in place to protect the personal data they
held and how this was used.
the result:
Our client received a full breakdown of our findings through a
formal presentation to senior staff and through a report. Our
recommendations ensured that the client was fully compliant and
satisfied the original concerns of the auditor, reducing the risks
of future legal action.
