The Data Protection Act—Are you compliant?

In a corporate environment that is becoming increasingly litigious, is your organisation leaving itself exposed to data protection breaches and potentially massive fines? A weekly review of the news will reveal a broad selection of culprits across both the public and private sectors who have let data slip into the wrong hands.

MTL Document Services has chosen the NW Manufacturing & Electronics Exhibition (Reebok Stadium, Bolton 11-12th June 08) as a showcase to introduce new products to ensure compliance. Having formed a strategic partnership with Footprint Solutions Ltd of Cheshire, we will be demonstrating the e-Redact product.

e-Redact is an easy to use software package for irreversibly blanking out or redacting confidential and sensitive information within scanned and electronic ally generated documents. High profile users include the Information Commissioner’s Office, the National Archives and the Independent Police Complaints Commission. It is a quick and cost effective tool designed to assist organisations in complying with the requirements of:

• The Freedom of Information Act
• The Data Protection Act
• The growing problems of personal identity fraud.

MTL is a high volume document scanning services company offering an environmentally friendlier way of implementing successful redaction. Traditionally it involved photocopying every page and manually blanking out data with a marker pen. Our ISO9001:2000 accredited scanning service produces a digital copy to be redacted—a far greener solution.
