Understanding the GDPR

Personal Data Breaches
Breaches happen through error as often as attack. Recognise one, understand the risk and follow the reporting route before the clock runs down.
Data Protection Impact Assessments
Some processing needs checking before it starts. What a DPIA involves, when it is required and how to reduce risk to the people in your data.
Controllers and Processors
Who decides and who acts changes the obligations. Understand the difference between controller and processor, and what each must do.
Special Category Data
Sensitive data carries extra conditions. Recognise special category data and handle it with the care the law demands.
GDPR Principle 1
Lawful, fair and transparent sounds obvious until it is tested. Identify your lawful basis and tell people what you do with their data.
GDPR Principle 2
Purpose limitation stops function creep. Collect data for a clear reason and resist quietly using it for something else later.
GDPR Principle 3
Data minimisation is the easiest principle to breach. Collect only what you need and review what you are still holding.
GDPR Principle 4
Inaccurate data leads to poor decisions about real people. Keep records correct, verify what matters and fix errors promptly.
GDPR Principle 5
Data kept indefinitely becomes a liability. Understand retention, the lawful reasons to keep data and when to delete or anonymise it.
GDPR Principle 6
Integrity and confidentiality cover more than IT. Physical and cyber measures that protect personal data from loss, damage and prying.
GDPR Principle 7
Accountability means being able to show your work. Records, safeguards and the governance that proves compliance rather than claims it.
GDPR and Consent
Consent must be freely given and easy to withdraw. Know when it is the right basis and how to capture it so it stands up.
GDPR Lawful Bases for Processing
Six lawful bases, and picking the wrong one causes problems later. Understand each and choose the one that actually fits the processing.
