Helping with Your Obligations

We can also manage public sector Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and Environmental Information Regulations (EIR) requests and help you stay compliant with your obligations under all of your information governance and data protection needs.

The UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) applies to all organisations in the UK, as well as to controllers and processors based outside the UK if they're processing:

  • offers goods or services to individuals in the UK; or
  • monitors the behaviour of individuals as far as their behaviour takes place within the UK.

The UK GDPR outlines several key principles and requirements for data processing, while the Data Protection Act 2018 provides the legal framework for data protection in the UK.

Both the Data Protection Act 2018 and the UK GDPR require organisations to:

  1. Ensure Lawful Processing: Organisations must have a lawful basis for processing personal data.
  2. Implement Data Protection Principles: Adhering to principles such as data minimisation, accuracy, and storage limitation.
  3. Safeguard Data Subject Rights: Protecting the rights of individuals, including the right to access, rectify, erase, and restrict the processing of their personal data.
  4. Maintain Accountability and Governance: Demonstrating compliance through documentation, data protection policies, and appointing a Data Protection Officer (if required).
  5. Adopt Appropriate Security Measures: Ensuring the security and confidentiality of personal data through technical and organisational measures.

Non-compliance can lead to significant penalties and reputational damage. The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) is the supervisory authority responsible for enforcing data protection laws in the UK.
