• Contracts and data sharing: support the review of contracts, including through the Vertice contract management system, to ensure compliance with the UK GDPR and to support the completion and maintenance of the ROPA.
• Incident support: assist in investigating potential personal data incidents, logging details and coordinating step-by-step documentation to support internal and external compliance.
• Documentation and delivery: produce high-quality documentation, process maps and records to evidence compliance improvements, ensuring all proposed actions are tracked to completion with clear audit trails and supporting artefacts.
• Reporting: help prepare progress updates and MI on the GDPR programme for the DPO, for onward reporting to the Risk & Controls Committee and ManCom.
