Product Focus on Checklists : Commitment to compliance

All of our customers have access to the DPE Knowledge Bank which has a Best Practice Checklist area.  Each checklist is designed to help you walk through all aspects of data protection.
The checklist will give you an insight about where your organisation is with data protection from a data privacy and technical security perspective. The checklists form part of the Best Practice library which includes contextualised guidance, documents and resources on specific areas of data processing.  The checklists form part of the ICO Accountability Framework which helps organisations with their governance and corporate risk management where it relates to data protection.    The checklists cover all aspects of the framework, enabling you to assess against organisation baselines:

  1. Leadership & Oversight
  2. Risk Management (DPIA's)
  3. Policies & Procedures
  4. Individual Rights
  5. Contracts & Data Sharing
  6. Transparency
  7. Training & Awareness
  8. Records Management
  9. Monitoring Verification & Reporting (Data Breaches, SARs and FOI's)
  10. Response & Enforcement (SARs and FOI's)

Commitment to compliance

The commitment to compliance checklist covers the following areas:
  • Policy implementation

The Commitment to Compliance Best Practice Area and checklist is the start of every organisation's journey - data protection is not a one-off project.  The best practice area includes template policies for all aspects of data protection, help and guidance on getting started on the Knowledge Bank and Compliance Manager, giving guidance on the initial policies and procedures to have in place.
