Data is now so valuable that it’s considered the ‘new oil’. Meaning that the laws governing data privacy and data protection are not only relevant but crucial to protecting clients and ultimately your organisation’s success.
Complying with data protection laws and protecting people from harm are important goals. Which is why we believe that working towards data compliance is like training for a marathon.
Data protection is a journey, not a destination.
What action should I take?
If your organisation has already done a lot for data protection, you need to make sure you sustain what you’ve done and seek to improve your controls.
If you are just getting started, or need to comply with a new data protection law that is going to commence, you will need to plan what action to take and them implement controls in a practical and effective way.
What is the impact of data privacy or data protection on your organisation?
If you’re not sure what action to take, start by taking our online impact assessment. Based on the information you provide, we’ll either send you an email with the next steps to take or set up a complimentary call (or online meeting) with you to discuss the most suitable next steps for you and your organisation.
