What is GDPR?
In 1998, the Data Protection Act (DPA) was introduced by UK Parliament.
The main purpose of the Data Protection Act is to govern the processing of data on identifiable living people.
The technology landscape has changed so much, that this law is now significantly out of date and is not able to protect the individual as intended.
A prime example would be social media sites capturing personal data, profiling it, and selling it to advertisers, without the individuals explicit consent.
However, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) under EU law, which was adopted on 27th April 2016 and will apply from 25th May 2018, will supersede the Data Protection Directive from 1995, and be significantly more stringent.
The main focus of GDPR will be to protect the personal data of all individuals residing within the EU, irrespective of where the company holding the data is based, and includes rules around holding, processing, profiling, maintaining and deleting that data to name a few.

Both the level of expertise and the swiftness in dealing with our queries is quite astounding and we are very grateful that we have found you to take over our IT support because in the past we have had some very bad experiences. The congratulations is to all your team to celebrate their exceptional service.

As a charity we have a number of financial constraints as you will appreciate; wherever Novus can supply us with cheaper but quality value items (software/ hardware/ Comms support) they have. They have negotiated contracts and disputes for us, not part of the package, and resolved a number of issues. They really are ethical ICT and they will go the extra mile for you.
I have been working with Novus for over 2 years now and can attest to their excellent service and professionalism. They are always open to discussion and they have adapted well to changes in our business strategy. Time and again we put Novus to task in all areas of our business and they come through with cost-effective and future-proof solutions that the business can rely on. I would highly recommend any of their vast array services to anyone in the tech industry.
