Overview

The records of processing activities (ROPA) is an internal document that contains information on all personal data processing activities carried out by organisations. It’s a legal requirement to document processing activities.

Attend our Understanding Records of Processing Activities (ROPA) and Data Mapping course to gain a regulatory overview on ROPA, along with practical techniques and advice on how to better map out your organisation’s personal data.

Learn how to make greater sense of your data, while ensuring full compliance and keeping abreast with potential changes brought about by the Data Protection and Digital Information Bill.

Receive expert advice from information governance expert Iain Harrison on developing more effective data mapping processes and build ROPA within your organisation’s record processing activities.

Take back a data mapping and ROPA toolkit that can be used within your organisation.
