GDPR Checklist & Simple Audit Template

 

Are you struggling to get GDPR information because the ICO is experiencing unprecedented numbers of visitors to its website?

We’ve pulled some resources to help you understand what GDPR requires you to do.  See the checklist (and some other useful resources) to help ensure your business is compliant with new regulations.

1.  GDPR in 7 steps

1 – Know the law is changing. – CHECK

2 – Make sure you have a record of the personal data you hold and why. – CREATE A SPREAD SHEET FOR A SIMPLE AUDIT

3 – Identify why you have personal data and how you use it.

4 – Have a plan in case people ask about their rights regarding the personal information you about them.

5 – Ask yourself: before I collect their data, do I clearly tell people why I need it and how I will use it?

6 – Check your security. This can include locking filing cabinets and password protecting any of your devices and cloud storage that you hold your staff or customers’ personal data

7 – Develop a process to make sure you know what to do if you breach data protection rules. SEE GUIDE BELOW

To help you understand what GDPR requires you to do, Adlantic has put together a data breach checklist (and some other useful resources) to help ensure your business is compliant with new regulations.

2. Adlantic GDPR checklist for data breaches

Your business will need to manage, administer and protect personal data whether you work in B2B or B2C marketing. To help you prepare we have developed GDPR checklists based on the latest information available from the ICO.

Given the compliance risk keeping most privacy experts up at night is preparation and handling of personal data breaches, we’ve made it our top priority.

While this checklist is as up-to-date as possible, guidance may change right up to May 2018.
