General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) has arrived.    We're ready!

​

 

SIMCO Business is committed to data protection and data privacy. With the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) becoming enforceable on the 25th May 2018.  This replaces all current EU Data Directives and will apply in all twenty-eight member states.   Brexit will not affect the obligations of UK companies with regards to GDPR.

 

​

SIMCO has undertaken a GDPR readiness programme to review our entire business, the way we handle data and the way in which we use it to provide our services.

​

Our GDPR processes ensure the following:

​

  • Staff training and awareness – how GDPR, the Data Protection Bill and the Privacy Regulation will impact clients, employees and our supply chain
     

  • Supplier management – ensuring all appropriate security, organisational controls and governance processes meet the demands of our clients accompanied by SIMCO’s growth
     

  • Development – ensuring SIMCO maintain our commitment to best practice and developing systems which meet recognised security standards and making sure we meet our commitment to privacy by design
     

  • Individuals rights – refining our approach to handling requests for data, or the handling of data, to meet the new demands of GDPR (including the right of subject access, cease processing requests and erasure of personal data)
     

  • Data mapping – a full review of all processes and systems to truly understand the customer experience, the data we hold and the way in which it is used
     

  • Data retention – confirming data retention periods meet contractual, legal and organisational requirements
     

  • Privacy notices – reviewing all notices to inform clients and employees of the way we handle their data
     

  • HR support – preparing our HR services to incorporate important aspects of GDPR for our clients

 

SIMCO’s Data Protection Officer who oversees our information governance practices and coordinates personal data in the way our clients expect.

 

SIMCO is fully committed to the principles of data protection and to safeguarding our data and that of our clients – as such we pledge our full compliance with GDPR and that we will exceed our clients’ expectations with our security processes.
