Internal Auditors meeting presentation January 2015

Background to data protection in the UK UK implementation under the EU umbrella Data Protection Act It is UK law Risks of non-compliance – bad publicity, censure by regulator, monetary penalties up to £500,000 Governed in the UK by the Information Commissioner’s Office ( ICO responsible for enforcement, guidance and raising awareness, contributing in EU to development of data protection Outside of EU the Madrid Resolution on Data Protection is setting new data protection standards

What do we mean by? Personal data – information that identifies a living person either inherently or with other information in the company’s control Sensitive data – information about physical or mental health, sex life, TU membership, race or ethnic origin, religious or philosophical beliefs, allegations of criminal activity or criminal offences Data subject – living people, not companies, sole traders or suppliers, sole partners Processing – any activity involving personal data, holding, amending, recording, deleting, sharing etc

The Eight Data Protection Principles Principle 1 – data to be collected and processed fairly Principle 2 – data to be processed only for stated purposes Principle 3 – data to be adequate, relevant and not excessive for the purposes it is processed Principle 4 – data to be accurate and kept up to date where necessary Principle 5 – data to be retained only as long as is necessary for the purpose for which it is processed Sixth Principle – data to be processed in accordance with subject rights Seventh Principle – appropriate technical and organisational security measures to be put in place and regulates outsourcing Eighth Principle – data not to be transferred outside the EEA unless the country has adequate protection for personal data

The key points So what are the practical implications of current legislation? Establish a justifiable purpose to hold personal and sensitive data - “fair processing conditions”. Establish authority to use personal data based on notice. Consent is required in some circumstances. Stay within your authority. Minimise personal data held. Ensure it is up to date and accurate. Don’t keep personal data longer than required for the purpose for which obtained. Be aware of subject rights and observe them. Provide appropriate security for personal data - IT security and office security. Put in place contracts with outsource service providers. The controller remains responsible for data in the hands of third parties and needs to check compliance. Identify international transfers outside EEA and follow procedures.

Compliance processes Governance framework Board level and Risk Committee involvement Clear data protection roles and responsibilities Policies and procedures - A Data Protection Policy and many more Information Asset Register – list of databases DPA /Privacy Breach Internal Reporting Process Internal and external audit Training Privacy Impact Assessments for new developments and to audit existing processes Regular dp awareness training for staff as appropriate to their work

Pending legislative changes The draft Regulation on Data Protection 2015? Principle of Accountability – demonstrate compliance Subject rights Data portability Erasure Information rights and higher standard of consent Requirement for a Data Protection Officer New data security breach notification requirements Fines up to 5% of annual worldwide turnover or €100 million

Your role as Internal Auditors Check the governance framework is in place and advise the Board and Risk Committees if not. Raise awareness of impending changes to law. Check the channels for staff to access information about the changes as they are brought in. This will be a changing picture. We do not have much detail on how the Regulation will apply in practice. Don’t forget HR.

Questions for breakout session What do you think are the top issues? What can you do about them In the short term In the longer term Who do you need to communicate with in relation to these issues? What support are you going to need?

Auditing HR and HR Strategy © Right Management All Rights Reserved. 75 Right Management Consulting Style Questions to ask HR Leaders 1.Have you made sure you’ve shared the people strategy with your peers across the organisation? How do they give you feedback? 2.Who do you communicate with at an executive level? Do you encourage your team to flex and adapt their style accordingly for different stakeholders? 3.Overall, how do other functions view HR and their impact on the business? How do you know? 4.What are the top talent management priorities for your organisation over the next 3 years? Is this part of your regular conversation with others across the business? 5.How central is the people agenda to business decisions? Is HR a permanent participant of debates? If not, how do you open doors for HR’s contribution? 6.To what extent do you and the HR team scan the external environment for emerging trends and future opportunities/challenges for the business? 7.Is increasing and maintaining business understanding a permanent development focus for the HR team? How do you achieve this objective? Do you encourage HR people to get experience outside of the function during their career? How do they bring this external perspective back into the function? 8.Are HR professionals included in career development discussions and programmes? Are the same leadership behaviours encouraged as for the rest of the organisation? 9.To what extent is HR visible to other parts of the business? Is the HR team just seen when there is an issue to solve? 10.How do you balance the operational challenges presented by the economic climate with the strategic opportunities it also presents? cipd.co.uk/hroutlook
