Policy

Purpose of the policy and background to the General Data Protection Regulation

This policy explains to staff about GDPR. Personal data must be processed lawfully, fairly and transparently; collected for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes; be adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary for processing; be accurate and kept up to date; be kept only for as long as is necessary for processing and be processed in a manner that ensures its security. This policy updates any previous data protection policy and procedures to include the additional requirements of GDPR which apply in the UK from 25^th May 2018. The Government have confirmed that despite the UK leaving the EU, GDPR will still be a legal requirement. This policy explains the duties and responsibilities, and it identifies the means by which we will meet its obligations.

Identifying the roles and minimising risk

GDPR requires that everyone must understand the implications of GDPR and that roles and duties must be assigned. The company will assign a key staff member to take on the role as the Data Controller Data Protection Officer (DPO). It is the DPO’s duty to undertake an information audit and to manage the information collected, the issuing of privacy statements, dealing with requests and complaints raised and also the safe disposal of information.

Appointing a member as the DPO must avoid a conflict of interests, in that the DPO should not determine the purposes or manner of processing personal data.

GDPR requires continued care by everyone, in the sharing of information about individuals, whether as a hard copy or electronically. A breach of the regulations could result in the company facing a fine from the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) for the breach itself and also to compensate the individual(s) who could be adversely affected.

Therefore, the handling of information is seen as high / medium risk (both financially and reputation) and one which must be included in the Risk Management. Such risk can be minimised by undertaking an information audit, issuing privacy statements, maintaining privacy impact assessments (an audit of potential data protection risks with new projects), minimising who holds data protected information and the undertaking training in data protection awareness.

Data Breaches

One of the duties assigned to the DPO is the investigation of any breaches. Personal data breaches should be reported to the DPO for investigation. The DPO will conduct this with the support of the board. Investigations must be undertaken within one month of the report of a breach. Procedures are in place to detect, report and investigate a personal data breach. The ICO will be advised of a breach (within 3 days) where it is likely to result in a risk to the rights and freedoms of individuals – if, for example, it could result in discrimination, damage to reputation, financial loss, loss of confidentiality, or any other significant economic or social disadvantage.

Where a breach is likely to result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of individuals, the DPO will also have to notify those concerned directly. It is unacceptable for employees to use IT in any way that may cause problems for the company.

Privacy Notices

Being transparent and providing accessible information to individuals about how the company uses personal data is a key element of the Data Protection Act 1998 (DPA) and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The most common way to provide this information is in a privacy notice. This is a notice to inform individuals about what a council does with their personal information. A privacy notice will contain the name and contact details of the data controller and Data Protection Officer, the purpose for which the information is to be used and the length of time for its use. It should be written clearly and should advise the individual that they can, at any time, withdraw their agreement for the use of this information. Issuing of a privacy notice must be detailed on the Information Audit kept by the company. The company will adopt a privacy notice to use, although some changes could be needed depending on the situation, for example where children are involved. All privacy notices must be verifiable.

Information Audit

The DPO must undertake an information audit which details the personal data held, where it came from, the purpose for holding that information and with whom the company will share that information with. This will include information held electronically or as a hard copy. Information held could change from year to year with different activities, and so the information audit will be reviewed at least annually or when the company undertakes a new activity. The information audit review should be conducted ahead of the review of this policy and the reviews should be recorded.

Individuals’ Rights

GDPR gives individuals rights with some enhancements to those rights already in place:

The right to be informed
The right of access
The right to rectification
The right to erasure
The right to restrict processing
Right to data portability
The right to object
The right not to be subject to automated decision-making including profiling.

The two enhancements of GDPR are that individuals now have a right to have their personal data erased (sometime known as the ‘right to be forgotten’) where their personal data is no longer necessary in relation to the purpose for which it was originally collected and data portability must be done free of charge. Data portability refers to the ability to move, copy or transfer data easily between different computers.

If a request is received to delete information, then the DPO must respond to this request within a month. The DPO has the given authority and following the ‘Data Retention Schedule’ from the company to delete information. If a request is considered to be manifestly unfounded then the request could be refused or a charge may apply.

4.1 Governance

GDPR Governance Structure – In its response to the GDPR, the management team needs two governance structures. The first covering the period of the implementation project and the second for the post implementation period to ensure high standards are maintained. In both phases, there will be a prominent role for the Data Protection Officer (DPO). This is a role that the Council is required to introduce under the GDPR, in common with all public authorities.

The governance objectives during this period will be to:

ensure a successful implementation process so that the requirements of the GDPR are met and implemented prior to the deadline of 25 May 2018

and

provide assurance for the Executive Management Team regarding the progress of the implementation project.

The management team already has a structure of working groups responsible for the oversight of its governance arrangements, ultimate responsibility for governance lies with the management team. However, there are two groups already in place to provide support and ongoing monitoring in this area; the Information Risk Group (IRG) and the Governance Group (GG).

The Information Risk Group (IRG) The IRG’s role is to oversee the Council’s response to all information risks. This includes Data Protection and covers Information Rights and the security of records. The group meets every 8 weeks and its members are:

Managing Director (MD) / Senior Information Risk Owner (SIRO)

ICT Manager

Chief Internal Auditor (CIA)

The Governance Group (GG) The GG monitors the standards of governance, including information issues. The group meets quarterly and its members are:

Human Resources (HR)

Finance Manager

Data Protection Officer (DPO)

For the period of the project, there will be a Project Board. The Board will meet monthly and be chaired by the DPO.

The Board members will be:

Data Protection Officer (DPO)

Human Resources

ICT Manager

The board will include at least one representative from each directorate. Ideally,

these will be officers responsible for the company’s ICT network.

During the project, the GDPR will be a standing item on Company’s Management Team (CMT) and directorate management team agendas. This will allow progress to be monitored at a service level and issues to be raised through departmental representatives to the project board.

Allowing the ICT Manager to produce standardised monitoring reports for the IRG, GG and CMT. These reports will provide the opportunity for questions to be raised and concerns escalated to senior management where required.

The GDPR also requires that there is NO conflict of interest between a DPO’s role regarding data protection and any other duties they may have. This precludes the DPO being a member of ICT..

GDPR Action Plan: 12 Key Steps

1: Awareness of the GDPR and its impact To ensure decision makers and key people in the Council are aware the law is changing and to understand the impact this will have. Launch awareness campaign across the Council and establish a Project Board consisting of key stakeholders.

2: Information we hold Conduct an information audit. Document the personal data held by the Council, know where the data came from, also who the Council shares it with.

3: Communicating privacy information Review the Council’s current privacy notices and put a plan in place for making any necessary changes in time for GDPR implementation.

4: Individual’s rights Check Council procedures to ensure they cover all the rights individuals will have under the GDPR. For example procedures to cover how the Council would delete personal data or how the Council would provide data electronically and in a commonly used format.

5: Subject Access Requests Update the Council’s procedures and plan how the Council will handle requests within the new timescales.

6: Lawful basis for processing personal data To identify the lawful basis for the Council’s processing activity under the GDPR, to document that and update privacy notices to explain it.

7: Consent To review how the Council seeks, records and manages consent and decide whether any changes are required.

8: Children To consider whether the Council needs to put in place systems to verify an individual’s age to obtain parental or guardian consent for any data processing activity.

9: Data breaches To ensure procedures are in place to detect, report and investigate a personal data breach.

10: Data protection by design and Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIA) To work out how and when to implement data protection by design and DPIAs within the Council

11: Data Protection Officers (DPO) To designate a DPO to monitor the Council’s compliance with the GDPR.

12: International To confirm whether the Council carries out any cross-border processing and if applicable determine the lead data protection supervisory authority.

Processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the data controller or by a third party (except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject, in particular where the data subject is a child).

There are some circumstances in which personal data may be further processed for purposes that go beyond the original purpose for which the personal data was collected.

When making a determination as to the compatibility of the new reason for processing, guidance and approval must be obtained from the office of data protection before any such processing may commence.

Data Processing In any circumstance where consent has not been gained for the specific processing in question, Trident Security Solutions Ltd. will address the following additional conditions to determine the fairness and transparency of any processing beyond the original purpose for which the personal data was collected:

Entity to another, or to allow access to the personal data from an overseas location. Should this occur, the Trident Security Solutions Ltd. Entity sending the personal data remains responsible for ensuring protection for that personal data.

Trident Security Solutions Ltd. handles the transfer of personal data between Trident Security Solutions Ltd. Entities, where the location of the recipient Entity is a Third Country, using the Binding Corporate Rules transfer mechanism. Binding Corporate Rules provide legally binding, enforceable rights on data Subjects with regard to the Processing of their personal data and must be enforced by each approved Trident Security Solutions Ltd. Entity, including their Employees.

When transferring personal data to another Trident Security Solutions Ltd. Entity located in a Third Country, you must:

Ensure that the recipient Trident Security Solutions Ltd. entity is included on the approved list of Trident Security Solutions Ltd. entities subject to the Trident Security Solutions Ltd. The approved list is held and maintained by the Compliance Manager.

4.10.2 Transfers to Third Parties

Trident Security Solutions Ltd. Entity will only transfer personal data to, or allow access by, third parties when it is assured that the information will be processed legitimately and protected appropriately by the recipient.

Where third party processing takes place, each Trident Security Solutions Ltd. entity will first identify if, under applicable law, the third party is considered a data controller or a data processor of the personal data being transferred. Where the third party is deemed to be a data controller, the Trident

Security Solutions Ltd. entity will enter into, in cooperation with the Compliance Manager, an appropriate agreement with the controller to clarify each party’s responsibilities in respect to the personal data transferred.

Where the third party is deemed to be a data processor, the Trident Security Solutions Ltd. entity will enter into, in cooperation with the Compliance Manager, an adequate processing agreement with the data processor. The agreement must require the data processor to protect the personal data from further disclosure and to only process personal data in compliance with Trident Security Solutions Ltd. instructions. In addition, the agreement will require the data processor to implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect the personal data as well as procedures for providing notification of personal data breaches.

Trident Security Solutions Ltd. has a ‘Standard data Processing Agreement’ document that should be used as a baseline. When a Trident Security Solutions Ltd. entity is outsourcing services to a third party they will identify whether the third party will process personal data on its behalf and whether the outsourcing will entail any third country transfers of personal data. In either case, it will make sure to include, in cooperation with the office of data protection, adequate provisions in the outsourcing agreement for such processing and third country transfers.
