Data Protection and Information Security

Every company should be operating within the confines of the Data Protection Act 1998, or country equivalent, and be clearly and effectively communicating to its customers how the information it holds on them will be held and processed.

In addition, each company should have robust systems and controls in place to keep valuable, personal and sensitive information secure from unauthorised access or use.

With oversight and possible sanctions being imposed by the office of the Information Commissioner, or country equivalent, and the Financial Services Regulator, can you afford to leave anything to chance?

MHA can offer guidance and support in areas such as:

Clearly defining your data protection responsibilities;
Reviewing your data protection statements, declarations, policies and procedures;
Preventative breach risk assessments;
Widening the scope of your Information Security Protocols;
Staff training and awareness;
On-site testing of your physical security protocols;
Identifying and managing the intrinsic link between data protection, information security and the wider financial crime arena.
