Data Protection Impact Assessment
Progressive Data provide knowledgeable resources to assist you in understanding the requirements for DPIA’s within your business. We understand the processing criteria that are likely to result in a risk. We will develop the necessary process and procedure flows to support compliance and will produce the Data Protection Impact Assessments for the particular projects you require.
Lawful Bases for Processing
Is the data processing you are carrying out “necessary” and if so, is it being done lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner? Progressive Data can support you in reviewing and determining which of the available lawful bases are applicable to your data processing of personal data. We will ensure that all necessary documentation is in place, including legitimate interest assessments, if required.
Compliance Assessment
Our Compliance Assessment gives you confidence your business is meeting its statutory obligations when gathering, storing and processing data.
We work with your team to ensure they understand the requirements and that you have adequate working practices in place. Our data protection and GDPR compliance checks include:
-
Validating your basis for processing each dataset
-
ICO registration status
-
Information Security and controls
-
Reviewing contracts and relationships with other processors
-
Verifying internal process and procedures including privacy and security policies
-
Confirming you have adequate subject consent in place
-
Validating retention periods and policies
-
Reviewing risk management and change control
-
Ensuring your team have the support, policies and procedures and education required to understand what is expected of them
Once complete we provide an exhaustive assessment of your compliance posture and wider data protection landscape. This provides a basis to consider further optimisation where possible, address issues of concern and hopefully gain confidence in the strength and appropriateness of existing policies and procedures.
