Ensuring data security is a crucial element of HR management. It is imperative to guarantee the safeguarding of employees’ sensitive data, including personal information, salary particulars, and performance records, to prevent unauthorised access and misuse.
Data protection laws in the UK, including the Data Protection Act 2018 and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), regulate the collection, storage, and utilisation of data by organisations, as well as individuals’ rights over access to information.
HR departments are required to uphold the confidentiality of management or corporate information that is not available to those outside of management or external entities. Ensuring the security of sensitive information is of utmost importance due to the significant repercussions it can have on a company’s financial standing and reputation.HR professionals must possess a comprehensive understanding of their obligations and legal liabilities regarding data protection. They should handle data in a responsible manner and stay informed on the latest advancements in data protection.
Data protection affects how you hire people, keep records on them, and do many other HR tasks, like checking references and tracking performance. Employers must know what they need to do and not do to protect employee info. They need to be responsible with data and know about new changes in data protection.
TCE’s suite of HR processes and policies will help you secure your HR data and ensure best practice in the business.

Matt very kindly ran a session around GDPR for The VA Suite last week. He explained what GDPR was and
what both we as VAs, and our clients need to be doing to make sure we are data compliant. GDPR is complex and the terminology is often quite frightening and off putting. Matt explained in ‘layman’s terms’ and made it feel less scary in a super helpful and friendly manner. I would have no hesitation in recommending The Compliance Engineers and am so pleased that I now have a GDPR expert that I can call on to ensure that both my businesses and my clients keep our data safe and avoid any nasty fines!
Simple, efficient & cost effective…
