UNBAR ROTHON UNBAR ROTHON The DPO Centre’s help in dealing with a particularly complex DSAR that we received was invaluable. The support and advice that they provided throughout the entire process was extremely helpful… Overall, working with The DPO Centre greatly reduced the significant challenge of dealing with this DSAR PROFESSIONAL CASE MANAGEMENT JENIFER MCINTOSH The DPO I had the pleasure of working with on that project is one of the best DPO/counsels I have worked with when it came to thoughtfully negotiating through a clinical trials-DPA, given his great working knowledge of the GDPR and the crossover with clinical trials regulations in both EU & UK. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS We’ve compiled a series of FAQs but if you can’t find the answer here please contact us to find out more. How can The DPO Centre help my organisation? The DPO Centre is the leading Data Protection Officer resource centre. Our large team of data protection and privacy experts will help you to understand your data, your compliance requirements and the associated risks, and then deliver the appropriate level of resource to assist with addressing these risks either as a standalone exercise or as part of an ongoing arrangement. Within our team we have experts in a range of jurisdictions, legislation and industry sectors. These include life sciences, finance and insurance, medical and healthcare, software and technology, education, charities and not for profits, and more. We help organisations like yours reduce the burden of compliance and simplify the process of complying with data protection laws around the world. Do I need a Data Protection Officer? If your organisation is a public body or processes data on a large scale or uses data to regularly and systematically monitor individuals in any way, then you’re required to designate a Data Protection Officer (DPO). Failing to implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data or ensure that your organisation has a DPO, when it is required, can leave your organisation open to reputational damage and regulator penalties. Why should I outsource my DPO? Having access to an experienced and knowledgeable outsourced DPO is a highly cost-effective solution for improving your data governance, information security and compliance with data protection laws such as the UK and EU GDPR. Our outsource DPO service provides your organisation with access to our large team of highly experienced DPOs. Your assigned DPOs will become an integral part of your team, working onsite or remotely as required, and consistently identifying and reducing compliance risk. Do I need EU or UK GDPR Representation? If your organisation processes data on either UK or EU citizens and you do not have a physical presence in either jurisdiction, then you will need to appoint a UK and/or EU Data Protection Representative. This is because Article 27 of the both UK and EU GDPR requires organisations that offers ‘goods or services or monitor the behaviour of EU or UK residents’ to have a point of contact within at least one EU member-state or within the UK. Since the UK left the EU, organisations that process data in both jurisdictions are required to appoint a Representative in both the UK and in at least one EU member state. Can you assist with our UK DSPT Toolkit submission? Yes. Our experts can assist your organisation to prepare for and complete the self-assessment process and meet the required standards set by the UK National Health Service Data Security and Protection Toolkit (DSPT). It’s important the DSPT online self-assessment tool is used by organisations to measure their performance against the National Data Guardian’s ten data security standards. Organisations that are required to complete the DSPT Toolkit will need to do so annually prior to the deadline. Our medical, health and care experts can help you navigate this process quickly and efficiently. Would I benefit from Consultancy services? Our comprehensive range of consultancy expertise greatly benefits organisations like yours by providing an expert, knowledgeable and independent perspective to your data protection compliance requirements. We will help you to understand the wider obligations within your sector and how these interact with data protection laws. Our consultancy services are provided by our team of highly experienced and qualified Data Protection Officers (DPOs) and tailored to the requirements of your sector, your organisation and your level of acceptance towards risk. What has been the impact of Brexit on GDPR? Brexit has had an impact on UK and EU businesses alike. Although upon Brexit, the EU GDPR was transposed into UK law as the UK GDPR, and the UK was granted adequacy by the EU Commission (meaning personal data can continue to flow freely between the EU and the UK), there are questions around what the future of data protection law is going to look like in the UK. This is creating confusion and complexity for organisations and driving a requirement to re-evaluate data protection frameworks and practices. Our experts at The DPO Centre, both in our UK and EU based teams, provide representation, consultancy and ongoing support services that ensure your organisation remains up-to-date and compliant with both the UK and EU GDPR. What are the implications of GDPR for medical and healthcare? When the GDPR was enacted into UK law, it imposed legal obligations on medical and healthcare organisations on how they must now manage and process data, including patient health data. Alongside an increased focus on patient data collection, developments in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and codes of conduct within each industry means organisations must implement robust personal data protection practices in order to stay compliant. Within out UK and EU based teams, The DPO Centre has the expert resources, knowledge and experience of the medical and healthcare sectors to provide for your ever-evolving needs. How to handle Data Subject Access Requests (DSARs)? Data subject rights provided within both the UK and EU GDPR enable data subjects (customer, employees, suppliers and stakeholders) to request access to the data you process on them, and to know how it is being processed. Our Data Subject Access Request (DSAR) specialists can help you recognise, handle and respond effectively to the DSAR requests you receive. The DSAR response service we provide can support your organisation throughout the entire response process, or deliver only specific elements, such as redaction. How does the Data Protection Advice Line Service work? Our Advice Line supports our Data Protection Officers (DPOs) when providing our Outsourced Data Protection Officer as a Service (DPOaaS) or EU and UK representation. As part of our ‘Continuous Support Service’, the advice line provides you with month-round access to our DPO team and acts as a triage service for our clients when they require assistance quickly, either answering the query immediately, or escalating the issue to their specific DPO. Our Advice Line service is therefore especially useful to those who need immediate and comprehensive advice in the event of a data breach or a complicated Data Subject Access Request (DSAR) that requires a response within a short timeframe.
