How do we protect data?

We take the security of your data seriously. We have internal policies and controls in place to try to ensure that your data is not lost, accidentally destroyed, misused or disclosed, and is not accessed except by its employees in the performance of their duties. We use a cloud-based system/online system to store your data, that requires 2 factor authentication. Physical documents containing your data are kept under lock and key in filing cabinets.

Data that is held electronically will be encrypted and password protected to minimise the risk of unauthorised access.

Strict security measures are applied for access to any personal data including:

  • To access only data that we have authority to access and only for authorised purposes.
  • Not to disclose data except to individuals (whether inside or outside the organisation) who have appropriate authorisation
  • To keep data secure (for example, by complying with rules on access to premises, computer access, including password protection, and secure file storage and destruction)
  • Not to remove personal data, or devices containing or that can be used to access personal data, from our premises without adopting appropriate security measures. For example, as encryption or password protection, in order to secure the data and the device.
  • No to store personal data on local drives or on person devices that are used for work purposes.

Where we engage third parties to process personal data on our behalf, they do so on the basis of written instructions, are under a duty of confidentiality and are obliged to implement appropriate measures to ensure the security of data.

Training

We will provide training to all individuals about their data protection responsibilities as part of the induction process ad at appropriate times thereafter.
