You'll compile audit schedules across internal, external and client-led activity, participate in and eventually lead, audit sessions, record findings and track remediation.

The tools we'll use UK and EU GDPR frameworks, DPIAs, DPAs and Records of Processing Activities will be part of your everyday toolkit, alongside Alfa's risk assessment and treatment methodology and the audit processes that keep our clients confident in how we handle their data.
