GDPR

General Data Protection Regulation, or GDPR, came into effect on the 25th May 2018, and it enshrines in EU law an individual’s’ right to data privacy. The regulation will still apply to the United Kingdom when it leaves the EU, and all UK companies must be compliant. Micro Pro have a team of experts ready to help you achieve GDPR compliance, and create a strategy to remain compliant in the future. Each of our clients is assigned a dedicated data privacy consultant to ensure the process of planning and implementing a GDPR strategy is as streamlined and easy as possible. We can also offer ongoing support to your organisation’s nominated Data Protection Officer, and audit new systems as they are added to your infrastructure. We believe compliance should be straightforward, so why not take the headache out of GDPR and call us today.

Micro Pro’s expert GDPR services start with a thorough GDPR audit and GDPR risk assessment of your existing systems and processes. Servers, desktop machines, laptops and other devices are all checked for security, data processing is assessed, and policies are reviewed. We will provide a full report and and make recommendations that may include improved security such as next-generation firewalls, two factor authentication, active threat detection and more. We will help you implement changes to your marketing activities to bring them inline with GDPR requirements, including personal data collection, retention policy and mechanisms, and data deletion. We will also provide training where appropriate, enabling employees to adhere to policy and recognise threats to data security in the form of malicious emails, social hacking, and other forms of attack.
