GDPR Cyber Security Compliance Support
The UK Data Protection Act 2018 and UK General Data Protection Regulation
General Data Protection Regulations govern how businesses and organisations are allowed to store and handle data. Remaining fully GDPR compliant can be a complex and time-consuming task and the strict guidelines allow regulators to impose huge fines on businesses that are deemed to be in breach of the law.
What is the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR)?
The UK GDPR is the UK’s post-Brexit version of the EU GDPR. UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 are the primary data protection legislation for organisations that process UK residents’ personal data. They set out how personal data should be collected, processed and kept to protect people’s privacy. UK GDPR also gives individuals the right to know what personal information is being stored about them and the right to request it is erased where relevant.
How we can help Secure your data
Not only do businesses need to comply with UK GDPR regulations, but, if they operate within the EEA or have clients that are based there, they must comply with EU GDPR regulations as well. Any business that is deemed not to follow the stringent regulations could be penalized and face sanctions.
Luckily, UK GDPR is very similar to the EU GDPR, so organisations that comply with the latter are likely to be in compliance with the former.
