Transition Period: ICO updated guidance for businesses and organisations

If your organisation sends or receives personal information to or from countries in the EU, you need to act now to ensure that data flow can lawfully continue.

It’s important you make sure your organisation is properly prepared for all exit scenarios, whether you’re a sole trader or small business or a large multi-national. 

The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) has updated their guidance to help your business work out what you need to do.

Guidance includes:

  • new guidance for small organisations
  • guidance for small organisations that receive data from Europe
  • build a contract now to keep data flowing
  • don’t know if you need a standard contractual clause (SCC), find out easily now
  • guidance for large organisations that send or receive data to Europe
  • guidance for small organisations with a European presence or customers
  • guidance for large organisations with a European presence or customers

For further information please visit the ICO website.
