UK privacy watchdog, the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) has published a new guide to help businesses understand their obligations under the Data Protection Act.

The Plain English Guide to Data Protection explains the Act in a straightforward manner and provides practical business-based examples.

Too many organisations are still playing “fast and loose” with personal data, said Information Commissioner Christopher Graham.

“This new guide will help organisations comply with the law and demystify data protection,” he said.

The Federation of Small Businesses, praised the jargon-busting guide.

With many companies, small and large struggling to make sense of all the various regulations and laws surrounding Data Protection this guide makes great business sense.

The Sterling Data Group has many products and solutions to help companies, both small and large, with Data Protection Act compliance.
