Protect Plus
Measure your GDPR compliance using ICO approved controls
PROTECT PLUS - UNIVERSAL
For any organisation
You define the scope of processing activities
Includes optional AI compliance assessment
Protect Plus Universal uses the control set approved by the ICO in the LOCS:23 standard.
Same controls - simpler audit process.
The core compliance controls remain and others varied to be more relevant to SMEs. In addition a new set of controls have been added to specifically assess AI solutions/services.
The Protect Plus standard is NOT designed to replace ICO approved Art 42 certifications and will NOT be seen as one. They remain the gold standard in official UK GDPR certification.
Protect Plus can be a gateway to full ICO certification as you measure your compliance levels and boost internal confidence.
Based on the Cyber Essentials self-certification model, Protect Plus is designed to give compliance peace of mind in a faster and cost effective route to GDPR certification.
Universal has been modified to be applicable to any processing activity in any industry. The applicant simply indicates the scope the certification is to be applied to, which is reflected in the certificate awarded.
E.g.
-
An online learning platform in the Edtech industry.
-
AI based candidate personal data processing in a recruitment agency.
-
Beneficiary data processing in the London office of a leading homeless charity.
