Subject Access Request and Redaction - SAR Training
About the Subject Access Request (SAR) and Redaction Training
The right of an individual’s access to their data is a key right of data protection law.
It has never been more necessary to deal with these requests lawfully and efficiently. Our clients report a 30-50% rise in SAR requests in the past 18 months and with financial sanctions on the rise and the risk of negative reputational media coverage it is vital that organisations get this fundamental UK GDPR process right.
People’s trust in how organisations use their personal data plays a role in their overall confidence and support for your services.
