FedEE’s 14-page data protection code of practice for multinational employers has now been published in the FedEE knowledgebase. This incorporates an annex that provides a model policy for pre-employment background checks. It is now our aim to seek approval from a data protection agency to give it formal recognition under the GDPR. We are also developing a kite mark that will demonstrate companies have signed up to the code. A number of cloud infrastructure providers operating in Europe have also adopted a 41-page data protection code drawn up by industry group CISPE.
