What is an Information Asset Register?

An Information Asset Register (IAR) is a centrally held record of the data processed by an organisation. In accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), our asset register allows us to accurately record 

*What data we process

*How long we retain it for

*The legal basis for processing the data

*Who we share the data with

*Where the data is stored

Failure to maintain an up-to-date and accurate IAR can result in significant fines and reputational damage.

We are currently in the process of creating a web based asset register to allow for quicker, easier registration of assets. A link to the asset register will be provided here as soon as the application is finalised.
