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.
