This scheme requires businesses that handle personal information to register with the authorities to ensure they are following European data protection laws.

Who it's for

This is for any business that holds or processes personal data belonging to customers or staff members.

What you get

By registering, you ensure your business is in compliance with EU data laws regarding how you manage and protect personal information.

What it costs you

There is no fee for this process, but it does require you to perform a data audit to understand what information you hold and how it is used.
