What is GDPR?

The culmination of 4 years of work, the General Data Protection Regulations 2018 (GDPR) is intended to provide protection for the new ways data is handled, stored and shared in the 21st Century.

The GDPR replaces both the 1995 EU Data Protection Directive and the 1998 UK Data Protection Act,  is designed to give you more control over the way companies use and share the information they hold, and is introducing hefty penalties for companies that play fast and loose with their responsibilities.

Are your Personal Data safeguards adequate?  Don’t risk punishment – do an audit!

Due to the nuances of how the legislation applies to individual businesses, it is difficult for us to to tell our clients whether they are GDPR ready or not. We’re not legal experts and any advice we give is provided with this caveat: it is unofficial advice, based on our understanding of GDPR for our business. The advice we give is “broad strokes” and may not cover all the bases required for your business.

We are advising that our clients should be seeking qualified, legal advice regarding their GDPR requirements and passing those on to us to action.

We are updating our GDPR knowledge constantly to serve our customers better.
