Employee Responsibilities for Data Protection and GDPR Compliance
At Devoteam Portugal, safeguarding personal data is a shared responsibility, and every employee plays a vital role in ensuring compliance with Data Protection laws and GDPR. Handling personal data responsibly not only protects individuals' rights but also upholds Devoteam's commitment to security and integrity in all our operations.
As part of your role, you are expected to:
1) Ensure the security and confidentiality of personal data you access, process, or store, in line with company policies and best practices.
2) Familiarise yourself with and adhere to Devoteam's Data Protection and Information Security policies, both at the local and group levels, as well as their related procedures. These documents outline essential guidelines for managing data responsibly.
3) Report any suspected data breaches or incidents immediately to the Data Protection Officer using the designated Service Desk channel (Service Desk > Security & Data Privacy > Information Security Weakness / Event / Incident). Prompt reporting helps mitigate risks and ensures regulatory compliance.
4) Practice good data hygiene, including:
Using strong, unique passwords and updating them regularly.
Securing devices with encryption and other protective measures.
Avoiding unnecessary sharing or processing of personal data.
Ensuring data is only shared with authorised individuals or systems.
By understanding and fulfilling these responsibilities, you contribute to maintaining Devoteam’s high standards of data protection and ensuring compliance with GDPR regulations. Should you have any questions or require guidance, the Data Protection Officer (DPO) and the Information Security Manager are here to support you.
