Service / Data protection

Protect your data. Then test the restore.

Who can access what, encrypted backups and logs, then a full restore you watch. Staff use of AI is covered too.

Access
by role, reviewed
Backups
encrypted, off-site
Restore
tested with you
AI use
local or under contract

01 / What you get

Six controls. Each one you can check.

Access control

Roles instead of shared passwords, two-factor sign-in, reviewed on a schedule.

roles.yml

Encrypted backups

Copies kept off-site, separate from the systems they protect.

backup-plan.md

Restore test

A full restore to an isolated copy, timed, with you watching.

GDPR Art. 32(1)(c)

Logs

Who signed in and what changed, kept for an agreed period.

audit.log

Incident checklist

Who does what in the first hours, including the 72-hour notice.

GDPR Art. 33

    data, people, systems

  2. Plan

    controls, in writing

  3. Set up

03 / Example

An access review and a restore. Both logged.

Illustrative. Accounts and times are invented.

  4. 04Whether staff use AI tools with company data

06 / FAQ

Will this make us GDPR compliant?

No supplier can promise that. We set up and document technical measures of the kind GDPR Article 32 asks for. Policies and the legal assessment stay with you.

How often should a restore be tested?

GDPR asks for regular testing of security measures (Article 32(1)(d)) without fixing a period. We agree a schedule with you and log each test.

Our staff use ChatGPT. Is that covered?

Yes. Our AI data-leakage page sets out the risks and the setup we recommend: a local model, or business versions of the tools under contract, with logs.

Do you do penetration testing?

No. We set up and check the controls. A formal penetration test is a separate job for a specialist.
