Compliance Projects

If your company has not addressed the issue of data protection compliance, Westbrook Data Protection Services can assist with identifying the compliance needs of your company and drafting the required compliance documents. If the issue has been addressed but your company has further compliance issues, we can advise and assist.

A complete compliance project would entail an initial consultation to discuss any measures which your company already has in place, and for us to gain an overview of the types of data which your company holds and the purposes for which it holds such data.

After the initial consultation, a report outlining the main issues and the compliance steps required would be sent to you. Once your company has made a decision as to the level of assistance which is required from us, we will agree timescales with you.

If you have any questions about compliance projects, or if you would like to book a free initial consultation, please contact us.

Training

Westbrook Data Protection Services provides a variety of training sessions to suit the requirements of your company. These range from general sessions, during which the general principles of data protection laws are discussed, to specific sessions that cover specific requirements of the law in more depth. In addition, we offer training sessions tailored to your business sector or to a department within your organisation.

We also offer an excellent value, one hour seminar, on data protection law with an HR bias. This seminar covers general data protection issues and discusses a number of key HR issues in the context of data protection. This seminar can be provided at a flat fee, rather than a fee per person. Please call Clara Westbrook for availability and booking.

If you would like to discuss the general training courses, or a particular type of course from which your company would benefit, please contact us.

Data Protection Audits

In order for your company to identify:
  1. the different types of personal data which it holds;
  2. the purposes for which is uses such data;
  3. the types of individual on which it holds personal data;
  4. who the data is disclosed to; and
  5. how the data is protected

it is advisable for a data protection audit to be carried out. Westbrook Data Protection Services can assist with carrying out such an audit and produce a report illustrating the results. Once the results have been reviewed, the compliance issues and the measures required to address such issues can be identified.

If your company would like to conduct an audit without external assistance, we can provide advice and guidance on how best such an audit can be carried out. Westbrook Data Protection Services will be able to assist you with the various compliance measures to be implemented.

If you would like more information on the audit process, or if you would like to book a free initial consultation, please contact us.

Privacy Policies

Does your company have a privacy policy? If so, does your policy include all of the information required for compliance with data protection laws?

If you would like to discuss implementing a privacy policy within your company, or if you would like a review of your current policy, please contact us.
