Are you at risk from your suppliers mishandling data breaches?
I’ve seen a few suppliers make classic errors dealing with breaches in their client’s data. Here are the top three errors suppliers make and 5 suggestions to avoid them!
Data Processing Agreements
Category: Data Transfer Management / Governance
Customer: Pharmacy Management System Supplier
Working with this Pharmacy Management System supplier we had the challenge of implementing compliant Data Processing Agreements with a large number of controller pharmacies as part of this project. One of the challenges was to automate the process taking into consideration that the scope of the services provided by the processor is not the same in all cases. It was important that the instructions of the pharmacy and the scope of processing was captured and formally agreed by the parties. The Data Processing Agreement was drafted to meet all the requirements of Article 28 and 32 in particular of the GDPR.

Ode to DPO’s managing GDPR risk
The General Data Protection Regulation is “risk” based legislation. This means that the protective measures an organisation implements should correspond to the level of risk associated with their data processing activities. It’s worth noting that the risk that should be considered here, is the risk to the data subject as opposed to risk to the business of non-compliance.
Get your head above the crowd and KPI your Data Protection Programme
Data Protection Programmes are all the rage these days. It’s great to see the compliance conversation moving in this direction. As a Data Protection Officer (DPO), I know the difference between working with a solid data protection programme and working with none and all.
