This year’s initiative emphasizes educating businesses on data collection best practices that respect data privacy and promoting transparency.
Norwich, CT January 24, 2022 — DocXellent announced its commitment to Data Privacy Week by registering as a Champion. As a Champion, DocXellent recognizes and supports the principle that all organizations share the responsibility of being conscientious stewards of personal information.
Data Privacy Week is an expanded effort from Data Privacy Day — taking place annually from January 24 - 28 — that generates awareness about the importance of privacy, highlights easy ways to protect personal information, and reminds organizations that respecting privacy is good for business. This year, we are encouraging individuals to learn more about how to manage and protect their valuable online data. We are also encouraging businesses to respect customer data and learn about the responsibility they hold for keeping individuals’ personal information safe from unauthorized access and ensuring fair, relevant and legitimate data collection and processing.
For Data Privacy Week, DocXellent is proud to announce the following:
-
- As the result of a half-year initiative, DocXellent has created the necessary infrastructure in our flagship document control software, ENSUR, to assist our customers in asserting compliance with the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), as we ourselves have done. This same set of templates and reports can be used to document other regulatory frameworks such as those defined by ISO and NIST.
-
- DocXellent is partnering with the highly respected European compliance consultancy, Advisera, to aid even further with GDPR and ISO compliance to offer our existing customers pre-built document templates to achieve compliance with EU GDPR, ISO 27001, ISO 22301, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, AS9100, ISO 13485, EU MDR, IATF 16949, and others. In addition, through Advisera, we'll be able to provide online courses, specialized books, and compliance consulting in 13 languages.
-
- DocXellent will be rolling out additional product enhancements in 2022 as we strive to help our customers achieve the highest possible level of Data Privacy/Protection and Cybersecurity, including specialized theme packs for information security and data privacy in upcoming releases of ENSUR.
According to a Pew Research Center study, 79% of U.S. adults report being concerned about the way their data is being used by companies. As technology evolves and the COVID-19 pandemic continues to influence how consumers interact with businesses online, data collection practices are becoming increasingly unavoidable, making it imperative that companies be open and honest about how they collect, use and share consumers’ personal information and communicate their policies clearly and concisely.
The National Cybersecurity Alliance has offered up tips to help guide individuals and businesses to better data privacy practices, such as:
For Individuals:-
- Understand the privacy/convenience tradeoff
- Manage your privacy
- Protect your data
-
- Conduct an assessment
- Adopt a privacy framework
- Educate employees
