Governance
Implement a strong and manageable approach
Every organisation needs to look after its data in compliance with legal and ethical frameworks. Our Data Protection experts and System Architects take a straightforward and pragmatic approach to help your team:
-
ensure secure data storage and transfer in a changing environment
-
avoid legal and reputational risk from data protection breaches
-
understand when use of data may be unethical
As data usage and machine learning become more advanced, robust processes must be put in place to manage risk and comply with legal and ethical frameworks.
Data Protection Impact Assessments
Required for specific data projects and tasks, Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs) are the foundation of best practice. They ensure the data is considered before any activity is carried out, and the impact and purpose fully understood. They provide the confidence for an organisation to know its doing the right thing.
DATA STORY: DAY-TO-DAY COMPLIANCE
Our qualified staff acted as a Data Compliance Officer for a client who did not have the required level of expertise in-house. This ensured that DPIAs were carried out correctly, giving the client reassurance that all risks had been identified and mitigated across day-to-day operations.
DATA STORY: A SECURITY-FIRST MINDSET
We regularly work with startups and tech companies in the early stage of their product development. Instead of risking moving forward with limited definition of the data, we work collaboratively with your business experts to build a secure, efficient and high quality data model from the start, reducing the risk of costly mistakes further down the line. In conjunction with a data strategy, it puts the business in the best possible place for success.
Keeping client data secure in fast-growth companies
As companies scale, risks can creep in when adopting new tools or developing new approaches and software. A Data Model is key to keep track of what data is being stored where, especially where data is transferred and transformed through different tools and processes.
Safe and Secure data
Using your data effectively involves extracting, transforming and using it. Every stage has potential risk, and if not designed correctly it could result in a data breach. Costs can escalate if it's over engineered but balancing that with the risk is a specialised job.
DATA STORY: BUILDING IN SECURITY
Our client needed to be sure the App they were developing was secure, efficient and cost effective. Our Data Engineers completed an Architecture Review alongside our Data Protection Officers’ Impact Assessment (DPIA). Improvements and cloud environment cost savings were identified as well as risks and mitigations.
