Privacy by Design

Could your approach to data protection by design and default make your products and services more appealing?

The requirement to design data protection into products and services and ensure personal data is protected by default is at the heart of GDPR. Designing privacy and data protection into products and services from the beginning increases buyer confidence.

For B2B providers, it ensures the product or service will meet procurement department due diligence requirements. For B2C providers and organisations launching products and services for internal use, it ensures users can trust it and increases the chance of more advanced features being adopted.

DQM GRC has won awards for Privacy by Design and can provide project team training and support.

Data licence effectiveness

Data licence effectiveness

Do you know whether you are getting the most out of your data licences?

Data owners that licence data for third party use are accountable for ensuring that the data is only used in accordance with the licence terms. This means that it is essential that the licence terms cover the purchaser’s intended uses – and that the data has been collected and maintained in a way that permits that use.

Off-licence use is a data breach as well as being likely to mean that the purchaser has underpaid for the data set. DQM GRC was founded to support the data industry and is the UK’s leading data auditor. We can help organisations work together to define appropriate licence terms, implement compliant collection and usage processes and audit compliance with the agreement.
