    “We moved our legal support to WorkNest having previously used a time and line law firm. It was important, though, that an all-inclusive fee structure did not come at the expense of quality. Thankfully we’ve been delighted with the service we’ve received from WorkNest"

    Cyber security FAQs

    The financial penalties for a data breach under GDPR have risen significantly from those under the old Data Protection Act (1998). Fines can now be as high as €20 million or 4% of annual global turnover (whichever is greater) for the most serious category of breach.

    Personal data is information that relates to a living individual. It means the individual can be identified directly or indirectly by one or more pieces of information specific to them. Examples include your name, email address, passport number, IP address, or location data. 

    Yes. There’s a myth that companies with fewer than 250 employees don’t have to comply with GDPR. This misconception stems from Article 30, which concerns the keeping of records of processing activities and includes exceptions for organisations with fewer than 250 staff.  

    There is no UK-based GDPR certification scheme yet, though the Information Commissioner is reviewing this. The best way to show compliance to potential customers is through a GDPR audit, which provides an independent overview. WorkNest Secure can help with this. 

    No, a privacy notice is essential for meeting the GDPR transparency principle, but it does not make you GDPR compliant. Compliance requires addressing governance, designing data protection into projects, keeping records of personal data, creating policies and procedures for its use, and providing training, among other requirements.
