What is a Record of Processing Activities (ROPA)

UK and European data protection legislation require organisations to maintain comprehensive records documenting all the ways they collect and process personal information in a Record of Processing Activities (ROPA).

Based on a data mapping exercise that identifies what personal information you hold and where it resides, the ROPA documents the purpose and legal bases you have for processing the data, what types of data you process, whether you transfer the data to other countries and the safeguards in place to protect it, and the retention schedule and security controls in place to secure the data.

Our method

Blackfoot’s Record of Processing Activities (ROPA) service delivers comprehensive data mapping and documents the ways your business collects and processes personal information.

Our team of data protection experts will work closely with stakeholders throughout your organisation to identify where and how personal information is used, what it’s used for and to verify the legal bases for processing the data.

With a clear view of how you use personal information, they’ll validate where that data is stored and the security controls in place to protect it.

Our ROPA service provides you with a GDPR-compliant Record of Processing Activities in a clear, easy-to-understand format that can be maintained over time, ensuring that you are always in compliance.
