Senior staff at Redwood Offshore have successfully passed EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) foundation and practitioner exams, strengthening the consultancy’s data protection capability across their offices in Guernsey and Jersey.
Lance Barclay, Senior Manager and Wendy Woodcock, Office Manager at Redwood Offshore have qualified as GDPR Certified Practitioners. Both are now qualified to fulfil the role of Data Protection Officer (DPO) under the EU GDPR.
James Wood, founder and chief executive of Redwood Offshore, said: “Data protection is a natural complement to our market-leading regulatory compliance services and we understand that the provision of a DPO will be a key function for all companies when the GDPR regime comes into force in May.”
“It is absolutely integral to our proposition that staff take the relevant, professional exams to ensure our services are delivered by experienced and qualified practitioners who are fully capable of easing the regulatory burden on clients.”
The course, delivered by an Information Security Compliance Manager trained to ISO 270001, provided training on the key implementation and compliance activities required to achieve continuous compliance.
