GDPR Compliance for Company Formation Agents

Ensuring Data Protection in Company Formation services through eFiling.

BDG’s Commitment to Data Security and Compliance

At Business Data Group (BDG), we take data security and privacy seriously. Our commitment to maintaining the highest standards is reflected in our ISO 27001 certification—an internationally recognised standard for information security management. This ensures that eFiling operates under stringent security policies and procedures, providing a robust, compliant platform for managing company formations and filings.

By aligning with ISO 27001 standards, BDG implements best practices in risk management, access control, data encryption, and incident response. This means our clients can trust that their data, and their customers’ data, is managed securely and in full compliance with GDPR principles.

How eFiling Supports GDPR Compliance

eFiling is equipped with a suite of features within its customer management tools that help users meet their GDPR obligations efficiently:

1. Secure Data Storage and Processing

All personal data collected through eFiling is securely stored and processed in compliance with GDPR guidelines. Our platform ensures that client information is only accessible to authorised users, reducing the risk of unauthorised access and data breaches.

2. Automated Data Retention and Deletion

GDPR requires businesses to retain personal data only for as long as necessary. eFiling provides automated data retention policies, allowing users to set predefined timeframes for data storage and automatic deletion of outdated or unnecessary records, ensuring compliance with the right to be forgotten.

3. Customer Consent and Preferences Management

Our customer management tools enable users to collect, record, and manage client consent effectively. This includes opt-in and opt-out options for marketing communications, as well as maintaining a clear audit trail of consent records to demonstrate compliance if required.

4. Data Access and Portability

Under GDPR, individuals have the right to access their personal data and request copies in a structured format. eFiling provides tools that allow users to easily retrieve and export client data, ensuring swift and efficient responses to data access requests.

5. Audit Trails and Compliance Reporting

Transparency is a key requirement of GDPR. eFiling includes detailed audit logs, tracking all user interactions and data modifications, providing a clear compliance record. This feature is invaluable in the event of a data audit or investigation by regulatory bodies.

Why Compliance matters.

Non-compliance with GDPR can lead to significant fines, reputational damage, and loss of customer trust. By using eFiling, businesses can ensure they are meeting their legal obligations without the complexities of manual data protection processes. Our platform simplifies compliance, giving company formation professionals the confidence to operate securely and efficiently.

At BDG, we remain dedicated to providing a secure and compliant environment for company formations. eFiling not only streamlines your operations but also helps you navigate the complexities of GDPR with ease, ensuring that both you and your clients’ data always remain protected.
