Opening Meeting (print ref: Part 3, Section 3.1)

The purpose of the Opening Meeting is for the auditor(s) to meet the organisation's senior staff with responsibility for Data Protection and to make sure that they understand exactly what the auditor(s) intend to do. This can be achieved in a logical manner by using the Opening Meeting to confirm the following items:

  • Scope of audit
  • Audit Plan
  • Meetings with staff, including closing meeting
  • Personnel affected
  • Reporting of findings
  • Follow-up
  • Practical arrangements

The suggested agenda for the Opening Meeting will be found in Annex D.2, and if it has been held correctly it will ensure that everyone involved in the audit will be in the right place, at the right time.
