Ensure non-centrally offered UCD systems used are checked for IT & GDPR compliance

Where a digital solution involves processing or storing UCD personal data, full compliance with GDPR regulations is required.

A DPIA must be completed where UCD collects, stores or processes personal data, and a Transfer Impact Assessment must be undertaken where personal data is exported outside the EEA.

The UCD DPO has developed a (opens in a new window)comprehensive UCD Data Protection Checklist to guide UCD academic and administrative units through the key steps involved in the selection and acquisition of IT solutions. See UCD IT Services for further guidance.
