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.

Why Managed IT Services are good for your business

The East Midlands is packed with amazing and successful businesses – all of which are different and unique in the way they conduct themselves and achieve their goals. One thing that many of these businesses do have in common is that they choose to use Managed IT Services.

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 IT support and solutions. They deliver a professional and prompt service and are always available to provide assistance and expertise.

EH Thorne

Director
We’ve outsourced our IT support and solution provision to Datcom for five years now and have found them to be proactive and professional. Their rapid response in getting our employees working from home in the build-up to the COVID-19 lockdown has enabled trouble-free home working.

Reflex Gaming Ltd

Managing Director
Datcom have been our IT partners for many years, providing reliable support for our network, backups and client PCs and laptops. Due to the nature of our business, a lot of our team are remote or home workers, so having someone on hand to get our people quickly back up and running if they have a problem is a real asset to our business.

RFMW

Director of Finance
Datcom have looked after the IT of Aquazero since we began trading in 2015. They are professional, knowledgeable and reliable – exactly what you need running a business in the 21st century. They might not be the cheapest but they are well worth the money to know we can rely on our IT because of their support.

Aquazero

General Manager
The project to migrate the servers was a dramatic change, the engineering team was brilliant at handholding, compassionate and never made you feel like a burden.
