Data Protection Audit Guidance Notes

This document is compatible with the UK-US Data Bridge and other “partial findings of adequacy” relating to specific organisations, legislation, and frameworks.

These Data Protection Audit Guidance Notes are designed to assist in compliance with the UK's data protection legislation. Data protection law in the UK consists primarily of the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.

The original EU GDPR, along with the Data Protection Act 2018, significantly modernised data protection law, taking into account significant developments in technology and uses of personal data that simply did not exist when the Data Protection Act 1998 was written.

A data protection audit is a useful starting point in complying with the UK’s data protection legislation and being able to demonstrate that compliance. The audit enables you to determine the degree to which your current practices align with the requirements set down in the law, and, even more importantly, to identify areas for improvement.

These Guidance Notes are designed to be used in conjunction with our Data Protection Audit template, available here, and provide important background information to each section in the audit.

This document is also available in the IT & Software group.
