The Public Service Development Agency of the Ministry of Justice has updated its data protection policy to ensure its compliance with the new Law “On Personal Data Protection” and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). An assessment of the processes that affect personal data protection has also been initiated.
At the task meeting, the Agency representatives discussed the new data protection standards they’ve implemented, an updated policy and how it impacts personal data protection. They also shared their experiences with the event attendees.
The identification of processes that need to be assessed for their impact on personal data protection and the assessment of these processes are the important aspects of the new Law “On Personal Data Protection”. The Public Services Development Agency is one of the biggest data processors in the country that continues to provide public services while guaranteeing personal data privacy in accordance with international standards.
The task meeting was attended by representatives from the Administration of the Georgian Government, the Ministry of Justice, the LEPLs included thereof and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). Works aimed to identify the processes affecting personal data protection were carried out in collaboration with the USAID National Governance Program.
