General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

What we are doing to comply with GDPR by the 25 May 2018 deadline

We are preparing for the new General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) coming into force on 25 May 2018, guided by the Information Commissioners Office (ICO) website and their 12 steps to take now (https://ico.org.uk/media/1624219/preparing-for-the-gdpr-12-steps.pdf.)

The GDPR is the new legal framework within the European Union (EU) which is set to replace the existing Data Protection Act 1998. The government have confirmed that the UK’s decision to leave the EU will not prevent the implementation of the GDPR.

We are auditing the information we hold, the way we process it and our reasons for doing so in order to ensure we comply with future legislation. The requirements of the new legislation will affect all organisation data controllers and processors.

We are Cyber Essentials and ISO 27001 Information Security Management System certified. This means that we are already compliant with many of the new aspects being introduced under GDPR. Datcom will be fully compliant by 31st March 2017.

If you need further information or have any concerns then please contact your Account Manager or refer to the ICO website http://www.ico.org.uk.

Charity of the Year: Lymphoma Action

This year, Datcom have chosen to raise money for Lymphoma Action and help support people affected by this cancer. The Datcom team have been busy thinking up fresh ideas and this year we’re going big!

Datcom provide all our IT solutions and support. They deliver a quality, professional and prompt service, and are always available to provide assistance when required.

Managing Director

Castlegate Financial Management
The Datcom helpdesk guys are great. Responsive, helpful and they do not make you feel like an idiot when you have problems with your PC. They use plain language and take over control remotely to sort out whatever the issue is. I’ve tried three other IT support firms and Datcom are the best by a long way. Highly recommend them.
