Hi

 

Not sure if anyone can offer any input?

 

Im looking at both GDPRis and GDPR Sentry to implement over 6 schools in a MAT - can anyone offer any input please?

 

Thank you

Heard nothing but excellent things about GDPRiS and they have so many data maps from suppliers all ready and available for you. Plus any company where @GrumbleDook works cannot be bad!

 

Not heard of the other guys

We use GDPRiS and will be moving to GDPR Sentry when our 3 year term that we are locked into is up as it is much more user friendly although GDPRiS has improved somewhat over the last few months. They cost about the same from memory.

Can you drop me a line so we can chat about where we can improve? Always happy to have feedback.

I don't mean to threadjack but how do these things.. well.. work? I'd love to know about anything that makes GDPR an easier beast to tame. Edited by elsiegee40

Our resident GDPRiS man @GrumbleDook will be able to explain a lot better than I...

 

...but basically they do a few things:

 

They give you a workflow to follow if/when you have a data breech to help you record down everything you need to, to monitor it and some I think give you hints and tips on dealing with

 

They give you data maps (some do anyway) from some or most of the top EdTech suppliers - these show what data they collect, from where, for what purpose, how, etc. Most suppliers have supplied these to the vendors about their products.

 

Higher than that they allow you to record what systems you are using, what processes you have in place for monitoring and recording, places to store your SLAs and DSAs.

 

Basically, think of it as you MIS for your GDPR records.

So it's more about monitoring your compliance with some emergency OSHI- moment help thrown in, than it is, say, a monitoring tool?

Compliance management is about helping you bring structure to what you do, help you change the culture in your organisation and help you record any evidence you need.

 

It is not about having stuff

You can dredge up if something goes wrong ... it is about reducing the chances of things going wrong in the first place.

Yes, and I would agree with Tony too it is about guiding you to implement change in operations and mindeset when it comes to data (unless you are already tip top), so you remain compliant and operate in the best faith of the spirit of GDPR, not just the technicalities.

 

Well I would and do anyway...

Sorry to be clear, are you looking for training materials/videos/courses for GDPR?

Posted

There are lots of training materials/courses for this I would be skeptical if if worked purely as e-learning. Really a face to face or blended delivery (either external trainer or the DPO) should be pulling in as mandatory.

 

It reads like you are looking for an LMS.

yes - something that the teachers wont find too difficult to do - last time they did GDPR training through IT Governance and it was lengthy and not entirely relevant to their roles.

Sounds like you will go from one extreme to the other. Difficulty is based on perspective and it reads like you'd need to deliver some hands on training edu specific, in the same way you'd do safeguarding. This should be backed up with some elearning and testing, Ideally aligned with the schools policies, so that you can log that all staff are aware of what the school expects from them.

 

You'd want bitesize/half day sessions aimed at slt, teaching staff, office staff maybe even IT, all tailored.
