Implementation
We were pleased to be able to set up the project, complete the work and deliver the report within one calendar month to meet the client’s strict deadline. The report included clear and prioritised recommendations with guidance and templates for some key aspects, including data flow mapping, IT risk assessment, data processing agreements, privacy statements, legal responsibilities, general information security, data protection, administrative controls and incident management.
It always feels a bit risky working with a new partner for the first time. We needn’t have worried. Yogesh, our RightCue consultant, was a perfect fit, combining deep expertise with a pragmatic approach with which he quickly understood gained the client’s confidence.
Like so many of our projects, this assignment provided opportunities for adding client value before and beyond the final deliverable. Our collaborative approach ensured maximum client benefit from the conversations and consultations on the road to the final gap analysis. This is particularly important when dealing with a new and high-profile subject like GDPR and the UK Data Protection Act 2018.
