Operated by the Crown Commercial Service (CCS) on behalf of the UK Government, the G-Cloud framework is an initiative targeted at streamlining the procurement of cloud services by public sector organisations. The framework is divided into 3 categories, or ‘lots’: Cloud Hosting (Lot 1), Cloud Software (Lot 2) and Cloud Support (Lot 3).

From today, public sector organisations can use the framework via an online store called the Digital Marketplace to procure Process Director and OpenText™ LiquidOffice (Cloud Software - Lot 2) as well as access our expertise in delivering these products (Cloud Support - Lot 3).

These campaigns are an attempt to obtain consent ahead of the impending enforcement of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) which becomes UK law on 25th May.

Amid the flurry of privacy notices, we’re going to take a closer look at the subject of consent and lawful processing under the GDPR. Previously, we’ve blogged about GDPR, its impact and how you can prepare. You can read those blogs here. Firstly, a quick recap…

What is the GDPR?

The GDPR replaces the Data Protection Directive 95/46/EC and is designed to enhance data privacy for all EU citizens.

The requirement to have a lawful basis in order to process personal data is not new. However, the GDPR places more emphasis on being accountable for, and transparent about, your lawful basis for processing.

With two weeks to go, a survey by the Institute of Directors (IoD) found just six in ten company directors feel their organisation is fully compliant GDPR regulations.
