What are the benefits of putting together a data protection strategy?
Improves GDPR compliance
Businesses don’t have a choice about GDPR compliance. A well thought-out data protection strategy that’s appropriate for your organisation gives you and your employees the best chance of complying with data protection law. It will demonstrate to the ICO that you are GDPR compliant and help you avoid breaches and subsequent fines or other regulatory sanctions.
Separates key roles
Through our GDPR consulting work we often encounter confusion within businesses about roles and responsibilities of key data protection staff. When you implement a data protection strategy you’ll also be able to identify key data protection personnel, including data protection officers, data controllers and data processors and ensure each understands their obligations.
Increases staff awareness of GDPR
GDPR compliance in any company will only be truly effective if there is a culture of compliance and respect for personal data. A GDPR compliance strategy that encompasses staff training and ongoing support will ensure that every member of staff understands the importance of GDPR compliance and the consequences for the business of a data breach or any other form of GDPR non-compliance.
Helps Assess Risk
The ICO now has significant powers to fine and penalise companies for GDPR non-compliance. Developing a compliance strategy and regularly auditing GDPR compliance will force you to consider key GDPR issues such as your basis for processing data and the rights of data subjects. The risk assessment exercise will help you identify gaps in your data policies and address these before any regulatory intervention occurs.
Who we help: Small and medium-sized businesses concerned about GDPR compliance
Our data protection lawyers work with businesses large and small – across the country – to develop coherent and practical GDPR compliance strategies that address all issues raised by the new data protection landscape. Every business will have different compliance requirements. For some companies meeting GDPR requirements may not be too onerous. For others, GDPR compliance will represent a significant diversion of resources. But the repercussions of any significant breach of GDPR or loss of data are likely to be severe for any business. Our team is here to help prevent that.
