Managing data subject access requests

This session will explore the practical and legal considerations for HR teams when handling DSARs, including:

  • Employee data rights: Understanding personal data, access requests and the new right to complain to the data controller.
  • DSARs in employee relations: How requests can arise in connection with grievances and disciplinary action, and the potential implications for litigation.
  • DSARs in practice: Recognising requests, managing timescales, meeting ICO expectations and carrying out proportionate searches.
  • AI and complex requests: The challenges posed by AI-generated requests and how Cripps’ new DSAR solution can help organisations manage responses more efficiently.

We’ll discuss the challenges HR teams are currently facing and share practical insight into managing requests effectively while balancing legal obligations, time and cost.

Why a roundtable?

Our virtual roundtable is an opportunity for an open and frank discussion in an intimate setting, covering challenges and issues that leaders in HR are currently facing and offering solutions.

Our experience has demonstrated that this format allows helpful sharing of experience, learnings and challenges, as well as an opportunity to speak to peers experiencing similar challenges.

All forum sessions are subject to Chatham House rules – this is to encourage open and honest conversation.
