This week in our RecruiterZone Live Show we talked about GDPR (The General Data Protection Regulation). Jobsci
ence sponsored the session as they had run a complimentary speaker event earlier in the week about GDPR. In this 45 minute live show I was joined by Helen Haddon (GDPR Advisor from ComplyGDPR) and Michael Wallace, Sales Manager EMEA, and Matt Hill, Managing Director, of Jobscience. You can watch the replay here (scroll down for Helen’s 12 tips):
powered by crowdcastAt the end of the session Helen talked through the 12 steps to “fast track” GDPR – and here they are, with some helpful links. Remember that documentary evidence of how you comply with the GDPR is key.
- Decide on legal basis of processing (consent, legitimate interest, contract)
- Audit your data and produce a record or processing. What you have , where it is who has access to it, how you protect it. Useful link here
- Decide how long you are going to keep data (Retention Policy)
- Audit your IT Security
- Write a Privacy Policy and get it up on your website
- Look at your 3rd party contracts (data processors)
- Get a new draft for client contracts (data sharing clause/controller to controller agreement)
- Clean up your data in line with your new policies and inform of legitimate interest or obtain consent (depending on what you decide)
- Look at your marketing data (understand the requirements of the PECR)
- Create a process for dealing with data subject access requests
- Define your process for detecting and reporting breaches
- Train your staff
Information about the Subject Access Request (an on-line checklist is provided as part of this) and specific information about verifying someone’s identity is here
