Data Security  ( England )

With Phil Tompkins, director at Dickinson Dees


Training course in
London

Recent high profile security breaches have pushed data security high up the agenda of most organisations.  In the light of such data security concerns and advice and recommendations from the Information Commissioner and other bodies, this session examines the practical steps that must be taken to ensure compliance with the law in this area.

The session looks at what constitutes a data security breach and how such breaches can occur.  It also considers how to avoid breaches, and the practical steps that should be taken when a breach occurs.

Key aspects of this session include:

  • Analysis of the underlying law including a detailed review of the Seventh Data Protection Principle
  • The Information Commissioner’s latest guidance
  • The law of confidentiality and its relevance to data security
  • Applicable regulatory regimes including guidance from the FSA
  • Data security implications of using external contractors and outsourced service providers
  • Examination of the Information Commissioner’s new power to issue Monetary Penalty Notices and other legal and commercial consequences of data security breaches
  • Managing a data security breach – law and best practice

Delegates are encouraged to bring their own questions to this interactive session.
 

Topics covered include:

  • Relevant information security standards, including ISO27001

  • Laptop encryption the impact of the Marks & Spencer decision

  • Taking a holistic approach to data security staff vetting and access and other organisational measures

  • Informing data subjects and notifying the Information Commissioner about data security breaches what is required?
