Complies with data protection law and follow good practice. Protects the rights of staff, customers and partners. Protects itself from the risks of a data breach. The Data Protection Act 1998 describes how organisations must collect, handle and store personal information. The Data Protection Act is underpinned by eight important principles. When data is stored electronically, it must be protected from unauthorized access, accidental deletion and malicious hacking attempts. Data should be protected by strong passwords that are changed regularly and never shared between employees. Data should never be saved directly to laptops or other mobile devices like tablets or smart phones. All servers and computers containing data should be protected by approved security software and a firewall.

Data use

When working with personal data, employees should ensure the screens of their computers are always locked when left unattended. Personal data should not be shared informally. In particular, it should never be sent by email, as this form of communication is not secure. Data must be encrypted before being transferred electronically. Always access and update the central copy of any data. To these ends, the company has a privacy statement, setting out how data relating to individuals is used by the company.
