Businesses face three month delay to ‘high risk’ data processing

Businesses could be forced to put major new technology projects on hold for more than three months if they trigger a duty to consult with the UK’s data protection authority on their plans to process personal data.

Organisations intending to use new technologies that involve the processing of personal data will be expected to carry out data protection impact assessments (DPIAs) before deploying those technologies under the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), according to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).
