All of our customers have access to the DPE Knowledge Bank which has a Best Practice Checklist area.  Each checklist is designed to help you walk through all aspects of data protection.
The checklist will give you an insight about where your organisation is with data protection from a data privacy and technical security perspective. The checklists form part of the Best Practice library which includes contextualised guidance, documents and resources on specific areas of data processing.  The checklists form part of the ICO Accountability Framework which helps organisations with their governance and corporate risk management where it relates to data protection.    The checklists cover all aspects of the framework, enabling you to assess against organisation baselines:

1. Leadership & Oversight
2. Risk Management (DPIA's)
3. Policies & Procedures
4. Individual Rights
5. Contracts & Data Sharing
6. Transparency
7. Training & Awareness
8. Records Management
9. Monitoring Verification & Reporting (Data Breaches, SARs and FOI's)
10. Response & Enforcement (SARs and FOI's)

Lettings

The Lettings checklist covers:

• Initial Checks
• Physical Security
• Systems Security
• Awareness

These types of conversations also come up during our data walks, our 'Making the Rounds.  This is where one of our consultants will walk with you around your organisation on site to discuss the data on view, data storage, data destruction.  The risk is based on who has access to the data if it is on view, such as lettings.
