‘Data Protection Law Award’ for Validata’s privacy measures

Reflecting the program’s core values of privacy, security, and integrity, Validata Group has proven to be an outstanding leader in data protection. Each year, Validata conducts thousands of screenings worldwide and this creates a commitment to operate responsibly and ensure that organisations grow sustainably. With a dedicated Privacy and Security team, Validata guarantees that clients meet all (inter)national privacy laws and regulations when screening employees. Ultimately, the protection of candidate and client data on an international level has stood Validata Group apart in their sector.

Harm Voogt, Managing Director at Validata Group “The protection of data and the security of our software are perhaps the most important preconditions for our existence. I am exceptionally proud of how we have grown to support clients implement a GDPR-compliant screening process across countries and to be recognised by the European Legal Awards for our data protection practices is a significant achievement for our business.”

Continuous development of data protection

As the demand for employment screening continues to grow, the need for rigorous protection protocols for candidates’ personal information has never been more clear. Employees are continuing to work from home and equally, the recruitment and onboarding process is being conducted predominantly online. It means that companies are increasingly having to process sensitive information online and at scale. Businesses need to be aware of what GDPR-compliant screening looks like, and how to protect their employees’ data. Outstandingly, Validata is playing a significant role in supporting companies to screen safely.

Harm Voogt, Managing Director at Validata Group “Ultimately, we have given our clients more control from a privacy point of view. We have helped clients become more aware of what data they should process and when, which ultimately better protects the person being screened. Our deep understanding of privacy legislation and data protection gives our clients the comfort of being sure.”
