GDPR, SIMS and other suppliers

[maturelady]

As promised at the conference, you asked me to ask Capita SIMS on Monday what they were doing to make their software GDPR compliant.

 

They told me that it was definitely a priority on next year's roadmap and more details would be revealed at their annual conference later this month. Perhaps PhilNeal can tell you more.

 

However, I am aware that many other 3rd party suppliers which process personal data for schools have not started their preparation to become GDPR compliant. Try to wake up these companies and tell them that they need to do something asap. Come 25th May 2018 it will be illegal for you to use anyone that is not compliant. You will have to change suppliers.

 

That should wake them up!

 

You can refer any to me - we are preparing a pack for suppliers, FOC, outlining what schools must have from them and how to approach the process of becoming compliant

 

I'm here to help with any questions about GDPR

Just had a demo of SIMS 8 from Capita. Sounds like they need a push to enforce (implement in some way!) 2FA. Could you give them a nudge please?

Hi there

 

I'm really interested in discussing GDPR for schools with you - in particular how we can ensure our MIS products enable schools to be compliant. We have work in flight, but engaging with knowledgeable educationalists would be a welcome reality check.

 

Thanks
