The audited IASME certification is seen as a realistic alternative to ISO27001 for small and mid sizes organisations. Certifications under the IASME include GDPR readiness and the UK government Cyber Essentials scheme.

Emineo are an IASME auditor and can help organisations achieve and maintain their cyber-essentials accreditation. We can also perform GDPR readiness audits so organisations can prove their data-protection processes are GDPR compliant.

The GDPR represents a significant change in terms of how personal data is acquired, stored and processed by organisations in the EU (and those that do business with the EU). The legislation is complex and multi-faceted, and we have found many organisations are ill-prepared for the enforcement date of May 2018.

“GDPR does not need to be a hugely expensive or time consuming exercise. However, all organisations should be doing their bit to prepare.”

The Emineo team are uniquely positioned to assist with the challenges ahead. We are GDPR practitioners with expertise in data-protection training, privacy program management, auditing and information security. Our team are available as advisors for both short-term and long-term engagements (in a DPO capacity if desired).

We can advise on all aspect of the GDPR from data-mapping through to risk management; documentation through to staff training.
