Ready for GDPR? JMAC IT & Office Solutions are fully trained GDPR Facilitators to guide you through requirements and ensure your business is complaint
General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), as you probably know, is legally effective from May 2018.
It has greater emphasis on:
- Transparency
Individuals are aware of the information that is held by you on them. - Security
Information on the system and/ or physically held is safe and locked away. - Accountability
That everyone in your organisation is up to date on their requirements and training has been done. - Rights of the individual
This is the kernel of this legislation. It is most important that personal information is safely kept and that the consent of the person is acquired.
Enforcement powers of Supervisory Authority:
The Data Protection Commissioner has much greater powers (because of GDPR) to follow up on any issues, and has received a large numerical increase in staff.
It is important to carry out a GDPR audit to see where your business stands on this issue and to see what steps need to be taken to get all staff up to date on their duties. We at JMAC are GDPR facilitators and can help you with an audit of your business.
