Privacy Impact Assessments for Companies in Baltimore
Companies that process personal data have an obligation to securely protect this information. As a privacy officer (also known as a Data Protection Officer), Tolbert & Associates is at your service for all data protection matters. Through our pragmatic but personal approach, we can analyze your privacy risks together and discuss how to spread awareness of privacy matters to your staff.
Creating a Comprehensive and Customized Privacy Policy
Tolbert & Associates has created privacy policies for numerous Baltimore businesses over the years. The first step to putting together a privacy policy is a risk assessment. This will analyze which privacy regulations apply to your company and also detail the risks involved in securing whatever type of personal data you need to store.
Once an initial risk assessment has been conducted, a custom privacy policy will be created. Your privacy policy is part of your compliance policy, with attention being paid to compliance with current regulations. A privacy policy and compliance policy go hand in hand and therefore are preferably drawn up together.
Staff Awareness and Training
In addition to creating a privacy policy, spreading awareness to your staff of the policy and its applications is crucial to ensuring the successful enforcement of the policy. We know that reading through a privacy policy is not always the most exciting task which is why Tolbert & Associates also offers staff training seminars to ensure your employees are engaged and educated when it comes to understanding your privacy regulations.
We aim to make these seminars fun and informative, and can also schedule them outside of your normal working hours so there is no loss in your business productivity.
Comprehensive Privacy Signaling and Reporting
The last two steps for an efficient and focused privacy policy are signaling and reporting. Signaling focuses on earlier incidents and whether the policy is sufficient. Reporting incidents can be done in-house or outsourced to an (external) privacy officer. Tolbert & Associates is happy to tailor these services to your individual business needs.
