Could the ICO toolkit help your business?

The ICO online self-assessment toolkit is designed to help organisations check their compliance with the Data Protection Act.

- Make better informed decisions about the information needed to retain and information that can and should be disposed of.
- Review practices around the safe disposal of information in both paper and electronic forms.
- The toolkit also helps to review and improve working practices when mobile working and holding data away from office base.

Use the toolkit as part of an annual review of data protection policy and procedures.

Take a look at the self-assessment toolkit on our website and see if your business could benefit.

ICO live chat
The ICO has launched a live chat tool which allows you to have an online conversation with a member of the customer contact team. It's an alternative to our telephone helpline and is now one of the quickest ways to contact us. Live chat is currently running during office hours, providing helpline staff are available.
