Data Protection Audit

An audit provides an assessment of whether your organisation is following good data protection practice. Audits play a key role in assisting organisations in understanding and meeting their data protection obligations.

JPP’s Data Protection Audit looks at whether you have effective controls in place alongside fit for purpose policies and procedures to support your data protection obligations. We check if you are following data protection legislation as it applies to your organisation and the resulting report makes recommendations on how to improve.

 

Why you need an audit?

  • to understand how your organisation uses personal data
  • the ICO considers an audit to be ‘best practice’
  • to allow the preparation of all the documentation required to be compliant
  • to avoid the prospect of you losing or having to delete valuable data
  • to identify and resolve data issues before they become problematic
  • to allow the establishment of correct data protection procedures
  • to avoid fines, bad publicity and destruction of customer trust
  • to show the public, and other companies, that you are compliant with data protection law
  • to allow you to respond within the legally designated 72 hours if you experience a breach
  • to identify data you need to destroy

What’s included in JPP Law’s Data Protection Audit

  • a (virtual) meeting to discuss exactly how you use data, where you store it, where you send it and how you collect it.
  • a written report to give advice on the law and correct procedures, highlight issues, and suggest necessary fixes and systems.
