BASIC STEPS

  • Rules (provision) for personal data processing should be developed and approved.

    The provision should describe the principles of PD processing at the organization and is a general document that contains the templates of corporate documents, e.g.Consent to PD processing and other documents.

    Employees who will work with personal data in the organization must be familiar with this provision.

  • Assign persons responsible for working with personal data and those responsible for ensuring the security of personal data.

    Such a responsible person can be either an individual or a department.

    In the latter case, the head of such department shall be personally responsible.

    This assignment must be brought to the attention of all the employees specified in the instrument of appointment, which must be confirmed by their respective signatures.

  • Develop and adopt a personal data processing policy.
