The GDPR or General Data Protection Regulation has been in force since Friday 25th May 2018 and affects any business who stores data on EU citizens. This is regardless of where the business resides, so Brexit will not affect this regulation. We know that a lot of businesses still haven’t made the necessary plans to ensure they meet the requirements. We are still offering our GDPR Readiness assessments for your organisation to help provide a roadmap for ensuring you are processing data correctly.
of businesses know what GDPR is
of businesses hold personal information
of businesses hold data in the Cloud
prevent the use of external storage (USB’s / Dropbox)
monitor access levels and sensitive data
Conducting a readiness assessment will ensure that the right measures (both organisational and technical) are taken and will highlight their effectiveness. Our assessment is not just a checklist of what capabilities you do and don’t have – we will provide a GAP Analysis which helps identify any risks within your organisation associated with data and then assess the risks against the likelihood that these risks may occur.
You can download our GDPR Assessment Guide here to see the full process.
If you would like to apply for one of our Assessments, please fill in the form below with as much details as possible and one of our team will be in touch to provide more information and arrange this.
