DPO: A - Z of Data Mapping 11.30AM

A lot of Schools see data mapping as an essential exercise to help bring about data protection compliance.

Data mapping is not a requirement under data protection laws but can be a useful tool to determine the flow of data through the organisation and assess any risks to the school.

 The average school is now dealing with large amounts of complicated data systems. With personal data being stored in a number of formats (paper, electronic, audio, visual) and in a number of different locations (paper files, electronic records, CCTV). During the session we will be working throught he following questions:

• What is data mapping?
• Why is it important to record your processing activities?
• What is the 250 rule?
• How should you record your processing activities?

Let us introduce you to this week's professional speaker
