Meet your data protection record-keeping obligations with Blackfoot’s Record of Processing Activities (ROPA) service

Why you need a Record of Processing Activities (ROPA)

Meet compliance

Maintaining a Record of Processing Activities is required by UK and European data protection and privacy regulations and forms the basis for lawful processing of personal information

Protect the organisation

A well-maintained Record of Processing Activities helps the organisation understand and manage its data protection obligations and avoid the legal consequences, reputational damage and lost business opportunities that come with a breach of personal data or legal violation

Provide assurance

A comprehensive Record of Processing Activities helps provide assurance to stakeholders that the business understands how it handles personal information, recognises its data protection responsibilities and takes them seriously

Blackfoot’s Record of Processing Activities (ROPA) service simplifies record-keeping for data protection and privacy compliance. From initial data mapping to documenting a comprehensive ROPA, our data protection experts will guide you through the process step by step.

Our Accreditations

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.

We value what our customers think of us

Blackfoot are authentic, hard-working, flexible and committed. Finding a partner who has our best interests at heart, one who tries to find solutions that work for us as a customer is like gold-dust. I now consider Blackfoot as part of my trusted partner network for any future projects.

"As our business has expanded so quickly, we have had to learn and implement new policies, processes, controls internally and externally, upskill staff and manage 3rd parties differently, it’s been a heck of a learning curve. During the onboarding and kick off meetings the support exceeded what I was expecting. The support from Blackfoot was amazing."

I was very impressed with your project managers persistence and attention to detail. She clearly understood the technical side of the testing and was very patient and polite when chasing up due to slow / delayed responses on our side. Overall, the approach gave me confidence that the testing was being planned carefully and that Blackfoot were helping us get the best out of the plan.

"I’m pleased to have seen the account progress, I know your consultants have dedicated a lot of time to the project and I’m excited to report back to their transformation director in the new year around their latest level of data security and privacy maturity based on the investment they have made"

“ I would like to add my thanks as in previous years you have really supported us and helped us to renew our certification and the entire process has been smooth and painless, we are most grateful."
