GDPR – Buyer ‘Data Controller’/Supplier ‘Data Processor’ Relationship • Responsibility of ’data controller’ to carry-out due diligence on new suppliers to check their GDPR compliance. • Engage suppliers early on GDPR compliance. Ask questions now, do not assume. • Consider what other benefits could be derived from these changes for the organisation and with your suppliers. techuk. org |@tech. UK |#tech. UK

The Opportunity • Creating a culture of data trust. Working with suppliers to review what information your council holds and golden opportunity to create good data governance. • Data sits at the heart of creating the environment for successful transformation and GDPR is a hook that can also help make the case for it at senior management level. • Putting data and digital at the forefront of your councils agenda. GDPR is and should be a priority for the council’s senior leadership team. It can also be used as the hook to begin/accelerate digital transformation conversation with senior leadership team. techuk. org |@tech. UK |#tech. UK

Conclusion • GDPR is coming, and soon. • Understand what data you hold and what you do with it – data audits are a useful first step for companies looking to get ready for GDPR • Consider what internal processes might have to change given the new rules • Engage suppliers as early on as possible. • Thinking beyond May 2018! GDPR can help make the case for transformation and be the lever for creating a culture of data trust and confidence. techuk. org |@tech. UK |#tech. UK
