GDPR and DPO
The new data protection rules which came into effect on 25 May 2018 are having a significant impact not just on businesses, but on charities and on public bodies including schools and parish councils.
Accordio has the skills, knowledge and experience to help your organisation negotiate the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), understand your new responsibilities and remain on the right side of the law with our low-cost DPO as a Service.
As they are public bodies, schools need to appoint a Data Protection Officer (DPO) to comply with the new rules. They also need to update their processes around collecting, storing and using data, although on a positive note, many are seeing this as an opportunity to boost efficiency while complying with the law. Parish councils and charities are not obliged to appoint a DPO, but someone still needs to be responsible for sticking to the rules, and the Chief Executive or Clerk is likely to have enough on his or her plate already.
