Service covers all your data bases
THE Data Privacy Advisory Service (DPAS) has this month opened its new Huddersfield office supporting Kirklees Schools in their road to GDPR and Data Protection compliance.
DPAS is now based at Huddersfield’s Media Centre after successfully winning a tender to support Kirklees schools on the road to legal compliance which includes; providing consultancy, training and tools to aid data and cyber security in addition to providing the new legal role of Data Protection Officer for Kirklees Schools.
DPAS had previously delivered such services to the 41 Schools in Jersey and the South West. Nigel Gooding, Founder of DPAS said: “We are delighted to be providing Data Protection services to the schools in Kirklees.
“Keeping data safe, in particular those of children, is not only a legal requirement which schools and their leaders can be personally liable under the law but is the right thing to do.
“We look forward to helping schools do just that”.
The Huddersfield office is now DPAS’s Northern base and is staffed by a team of locally recruited experts who will deliver the service across Kirklees and beyond.
GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 puts new legal responsibilities to school leaders to put in place measures to keep data safe.
