GDPR and Social Care Organisations

For all organisations in the UK that are concerned with the care of others, GDPR is going to have an impact on how personal information is stored, retained and managed.

Processing Personal Information

You should ask yourself a few questions to establish whether you should consider a change to the way you store data.

Do you use unstructured data stores like Microsoft Excel, or Word files to store personal information?
Is your data stored locally, in your office, on your own computers or server?
Is it simple to assign permission to see data on a need-to-see basis?
Do you know who last looked at a given piece of data?
Have you implemented a process for data deletion on demand?
Are you able to tell someone exactly what data you hold on them, and why?

Addressing GDPR - Simply

If you are a data controller and you store personal information, you can make your GDPR planning an awful lot simpler by asking a professional, experienced data processing company to manage the processing and storage for you.
