Data protection

Privacy matters! Recognising the value and risk inherent in processing information revealing an individual’s identity (and all the other detail that comes with it) leads organisations to respect this data and protect it appropriately.

By providing a DPO service, or support to your own DPO, Cognos can help deliver the essential elements of a compliance programme, or review the measures you have in place to make more of these going forward.

Our focus will always be toward streamlining your compliance framework by placing the core principles of data protection at the heart of your operational, communications and record keeping activities: collecting once, processing appropriately throughout your relationship cycle and encouraging you to move on and return or destroy personal data, when the time comes.

In the longer term, our approach shifts toward ensuring your governance structure is aligned with your risk profile, identifying sources of a deeper understanding of your present and finding insight to help secure your future.
