Data protection issues

The law relating to data protection is complex and commonly misunderstood. Unfortunately, as recent media coverage demonstrates, getting it wrong can not only land your business in hot water with the Information Commissioner but it can also be a public relations disaster.

Data protection law intrudes on every people issue likely to be faced by your business - from the recruitment of employees through to the storage of their exit interviews when they leave.

Ignorance is not bliss!! The first step for many employers is often, simply, to begin to understand the extent of their legal responsibilities. This is where our business training can be invaluable in educating staff about what the law requires so that they can become more aware of data protection issues in the workplace. We can then carry out a data protection audit looking at the whole of your organisation to help ensure that the appropriate structures and process for compliance are in place.

Data protection issues crop up every day, if you don’t know the answer to any of the following, we can help:
