As the count down begins we can already see many organisations making changes to the way they are using their data.

There is plenty of help out there and a great place to start is with the Information Commissioners Office, their '12 steps to take now' booklet is packed with advice and is available as a PDF.

"Firms that don’t adopt the appropriate protections leave themselves open to tough penalties."

In the PDF, there’s a checklist which highlights steps that could, and should be implemented immediately. Helpfully, the ICO also point out that while companies complying properly with current regulations will be able to use their existing approach, every business should guard against complacency. Some of the regulations are new and others feature significant enhancements to the existing rules.

Are you a data controller or data processor?

The ICO suggests organisations establish their roles before processing commences to ensure there are no gaps
in organisations’ responsibilities. An example they provide to explain this is ABC organisation engages a company which provides business services to administer its employee payroll function. The organisation also engages a marketing company to carry out a satisfaction survey of its existing customers.
