13 Common Data Protection Mistakes


What are the most important data protection issues facing your organisation? 

Could any of these common 13 #dataprotection mistakes occur in your organisation?

Mistakes relating to:

  1. Data sharing agreements
  2. Retention schedules
  3. Encryption of portable devices
  4. Remote working
  5. Training
  6. Physical security
  7. Secure printing  
  8. Role based access
  9. Password requirements
  10. Fair processing information
  11. Data protection leadership -governance
  12. Fax machines
  13. Data protection policies out of date
 Secondly are you are aware of and ready for EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) which applies to EU member states from 25 May 2018?

The #GDPR will affect any area in which personal data is processed, but it is in relation to on-line sales, marketing and employment that businesses are likely to process most data.

The decision to leave the EU means the GDPR will not apply directly in the UK, however if #data travels from or through the #EU (web servers ?) UK business will need to meet EU standards of protection and all  UK businesses offering goods or services within the EU will need to comply.  There is also the possibility that trade agreements with the EU may require compliance and/or the UK may implement similar legislation.  

The GDPR is demanding and few organisations will be able to meet the regulations quickly.  Advanced planning and action is essential.

Concrew Training's one-day workshop on data protection helps organisations prepare for the latest changes and ensure their current processes are robust

Using Social Media at Work - Staff rights and responsibilities

Why you need a Policy NOW ! Two recent Employment Tribunal cases, one involving Face book and another one with Twitter have one clear message in common for modern employers – the urgent need to have clear up to date, precise policies and procedures in place about the use of Social Media at work. Both the cases profiled below could have been lost by the employer had they not previously taken proactive policy steps to keep up to date with an ever changing scene. Face Book The Face Book case arose from an unfair dismissal claim. The Employment Tribunal held that a pub manager was fairly dismissed for gross misconduct after she made inappropriate comments on Face book about two customers who had verbally abused and threatened her.   The Face Book chat took place while the employee was at work and did not reflect her upset or anger at the customers, but appeared to be a joke between friends.  However, a wider audience was able to look at her Face Book page, including r
