Legislation

GDPR

On 25th May 2018 the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into force, replacing the Data Protection Act. This piece of legislation brings additional obligation to data storage, data handling and data processing, with companies liable for increased fines should they fail to comply with the requirements.

Choosing a compliant IT disposal partner to provide data processing services as part of a businesses end of life IT policy is therefore an important piece of an organisations overall GDPR compliance strategy.

At Charterhouse Müller UK our IT disposal and data erasure services are built on compliance. We regularly evaluate each of procedures to ensure data security is never compromised, providing total piece of mind for our clients.
