Data Protection Service

Information is a key asset to any organisation, and its correct and proper use is fundamental to the delivery of efficient business services. However, everyone is entitled to expect that, whatever the organisation is – it will protect their privacy, and use and handle information they hold appropriately. Over recent years, there have been numerous cases where valuable information has found its way out of the control of the organisation that held it, causing significant damage to the reputation and credibility and potential standing of the organisation concerned.

 

VEGA's approach to data protection

At VEGA, we understand that at the heart of Data Protection are the obligations placed upon organisations by the Data Protection Act 1998 and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003. We can help organisations comprehend and comply with these and other legal requirements, as well as for organisations that must comply with minimum Data Handling standards for Government, such as HMG Information Assurance Standard 6.

 

VEGA cannot take away customers’ Data Protection responsibilities, but we have extensive experience in the delivery of Data Protection guidance, advice, compliance assessment and training, both within Government and in the commercial sector. This allows us to offer some of the best CESG Listed Advisor Scheme (CLAS) consultancy available in the market today, including Privacy Impact Assessments which we conduct from the outset of programmes. Our consultants are able to offer a wealth of experience that can be brought to bear on all areas of Data Protection.
