Project Update - Data Governance

The primary aim and priority of this project is to deliver a data governance strategy for relevant electronic data retained by SPA Forensic Services which is compliant with the requirements and timeframes as defined in Data Protection Act of 2018. 

We continue to work closely with our partners and information compliance specialists to ensure project deliverables meet both legislative requirements and information compliance standards. 

Specifically the project will deliver;

Increased compliance of GDPR / Data Protection Act 2018, reduction in the opportunity for financial penalties and reputational risk.

Cleansed data – potential to improve system speed and efficiency with systematic weeding and retention rules

A robust logging procedure to comply with legislative requirements

Improved access of legislatively compliant data and information within new Core Operating system.
