When it comes to General Data Protection Regulation and making sure your business is compliant you will need to be aware of the many different policies and procedures. You start with the data you are holding, where it is stored, how it is protected and what kind of software or technology is in place to protect it? You will need to review your current data-related policies, including encryption, remote access, mobile devices, sensitive information, HR exit procedures, third parties and data breach notifications.
GDPR and Your Business
The first thing that you should do as a business owner is work out what needs to be done to comply with GDPR. It is possible that you may already comply with some of the requirements, even though you were not aware of what needed to be done. For example, your IT department may already have good structures in place with regards to such things as password control, anti-virus and anti-malware software and cyber security as a whole.
Your GDPR Requirements
So let’s get a better understanding about your GDPR requirements and some of the core principles for the processing of personal data that you need to be aware of: (a) Consent: (b) Contract: (c) Legal obligation: (d) Vital interests: (e) Public task: and (f) Legitimate interests.
The GDPR Accountability
Accountability is one of the data protection principles, which means you are responsible for complying with GDPR and must be able to demonstrate your compliance. You need to put in place appropriate technical and organisational measures to meet the requirements of accountability. You need to maintain documentation of your processing activities and implement appropriate security measures.
