As public sector bodies, local authorities are subject to both the GDPR and the Freedom of Information Act (2000) (FoIA). It's a diverse sector with district councils and large city councils providing a range of services and processing a huge amount of different types of personal data about a broad range of people. We've found that most local authorities are sufficiently well resourced to operate a great inforamtion governance regime so in the main, our services to the sector are aligned to support data protection officers and information governance functions. Our SAR bureau takes the strain when large or complex requests are received. Our audit team provide assessments and assurance. Our support desk handles queries on points of law as they apply to the public sector. Our training team helps privacy professionals stay on top of their development. Our PCI DSS practice undertakes annual assessment, and DataWise provides a one-stop shop for accountability record keeping. resourcing can be a challenge in local government - find out how we can provide flexible, scalable, on-demand and cost effective services to supplement what you already have.
