Ensuring DPA compliance through practical recommendations
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.
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.
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.
