ICO Accountability Framework

U.K. Information Commissioner's Office Director of Regulatory Assurance Ian Hulme introduced the ICO's Accountabilty Framework in a blog post. The framework outlines 10 categories for how companies can demonstrate accountability, providing key expectations and ways to achieve them for each category. Among the categories are training and awareness, contracts and data sharing, records of processing and lawful basis, and risks and data protection impact assessments.
