Why GUARDRAIL?

​

There is no doubt that the explosion of AI will result in significant benefits for firms of all sizes - but with that comes the potential risks associated with the automated processing of client and employee data.

​

GUARDRAIL is designed to highlight any potential risk enabling you to take preventative action before issues arise.

​

What are the risks?

​

The most common reasons for data protection issues are:

​

• ​Accidental exposure of sensitive personal data 

• Breach of GDPR Article 5 - data minimisation

• Breach of GDPR Article 35 - documented risk assessment for 'high risk' processing

• Lack of adequate risk assessment

• Lack of adequate notice to clients​

​

How does GUARDRAIL help?

​

Our GUARDRAIL service gives you an external assessment of the data protection requirements of your solution.

 

Taken from the ICO approved controls in the LOCS:23 standard we apply a 48 control assessment to give you the confidence that your solution is compliant by highlighting any potential non conformities or risks that exist.

​

The 48 core controls are covered in the following areas:

 

1. Policy and Governance

2. Client Rights

3. Operational Privacy

4. Third Party Suppliers

5. Monitoring & Review​
