problem

Under the Data Protection Act 1998, organizations should register with the Information Commissioner’s Office to declare the type of personal data such as customer and employee details that they keep and maintain their registration up to date. This process is known as notification. Notification may become a very time consuming task and may involve unwanted amounts of paperwork.

problem

Data Protection Act 1998 (DPA), Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOI) and Access to Environmental Information Act 1999 (EIR) give individuals rights to access the information that the organization holds. Handling these requests may become a very complex and time consuming task and may involve unwanted amounts of paperwork.

problem

Many large organisations have thousands of data sources (databases, network shares with word processing files, etc) where personal data is kept and under the Data Protection Act 1998, the types of personal data and the reason for keeping them must be notified to the Information Commissioner’s Office. The audit required to do this notification is very expensive on resources when done manually.
