Q&A
The shape of GDPR today
Cybercrime costs businesses and individuals heavily – and the data that feeds it is far too freely available. In 2016, losses of £1bn were attributed to online crime by UK companies.
The GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) came into effect in May 2018 and aims to tighten data control and processing procedures in order to make cybercrime much easier to trace and prevent.
It’s not just about data being hacked. GDPR compliance will also be about making data freely available to those who have requested it, and protecting the rights of consumers who want their personal information afforded some protection.
Although the GDPR is an EU regulation, our submission to it is not affected by Brexit and it will continue to apply under the UK Data Protection Bill.
The GDPR compliance landscape might seem tricky at first but a bit of basic knowledge plus having a data protection officer (DPO) in place where appropriate should ensure you don’t fall foul of the legislation.
It might be easy to assume that an IT director can just do the job of a DPO but legally there should not be a conflict of interest between the DPO and any other role (for example, the IT director cannot also be responsible for signing off on compliance if they are also responsible for its processing).
And GDPR affects the entire company, not just the IT department. Getting to grips with GDPR means effecting a change across the entire organisation and creating a change in mindset among everyone who obtains personal data, in any capacity. Depending on your activities, that can include call centre staff, field engineers and shop floor staff; so there’s no time to lose in getting the message out to your team.
There isn’t long to ensure you’re up to speed on GDPR requirements but there are things you can do to be ahead of the game. Building privacy and data protection into any new IT systems or operational processes will make it much easier to stick to the guidelines in the future. Having breach notification procedures already in place will make things go more smoothly if the unthinkable does happen.
A privacy impact assessment (PIA) is a privacy risk tool that can help organisations to assess the potential effects of a project on the privacy of individuals and compliance with data protection legislation. A PIA can also help to determine how these outcomes might be avoided or dealt with.
And GDPR training is essential for organisations working with data. Educating staff about data protection legislation is crucial to ensure avoidance of hefty fines, disgruntled customers and (often most costly of all) a loss of reputation.
No matter if you are a charity, a care home, estate agent, HR professional, NHS, recruiter or school – you shouldn’t be afraid to ask for GDPR guidance. Staying up to speed could make the difference between fines and reputational damage and a good night’s sleep.
