Check your data sharing protocols

Data sharing – simple isn’t it: “data share” rhymes with “data care” and “nightmare”.

Anyway this is an unashamed plug for a book that contains a chapter on data sharing written by yours truly. To assist the general data protection community, I have placed a checklist of what should appear in a protocol on http://www.amberhawk.com/policydoc.asp   under the heading: “Data sharing protocol checklist – 2009”. The checklist applies to public and private sectors.

The book is entitled “Data Protection for Financial Firms: A Practical Guide to Managing Privacy and Information Risk, Edited By  Tim Gough. Details are on http://riskbooks.com/Operational%20Risk/data_protection_for_financial_firms.php
