DataSecurity–DataProtectionRegulatoryFramework

UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 together set out the legal framework businesses must follow when handling personal data, whether about customers, employees or suppliers. The framework is built around core principles including using data lawfully and transparently, collecting only what's needed, keeping it accurate and secure, and not holding it for longer than necessary.

Businesses that determine how and why personal data is processed take on specific legal responsibilities under this framework, including being accountable for demonstrating compliance. Understanding these principles is the starting point for handling data properly, and the framework applies to businesses of every size, not just large organisations. We can point you towards the areas most relevant to your business.
