SitePlanner Contractor Management System GDPR Compliant Features


Ensure Clients Remain Compliant New web-based system – SitePlanner – has undergone significant development to provide its clients with the tools to ensure they remain compliant with recent Data Protection regulations (GDPR).


SitePlanner provides businesses with a compliant and auditable personnel and contractor management system for the efficient completion of inductions, management of personnel certification and access levels, Risk Assessments/Method Statements (RAMS) and Permit to Work – all within one centralised system. “Due to the nature of the data stored within SitePlanner,


it is absolutely imperative that we continue to implement features that ensure the highest levels of security.” Roy Dempster, SitePlanner Technical Manager said. “In a data-driven business such


as ours, GDPR places further responsibility on us as a data pro- cessor. Following extensive analy- sis of our policies, procedures and solutions, we have implemented a number of tools to ensure full com- pliance with the new standards and give our clients confidence in the security of their data held within the SitePlanner system”.


Security Features of SitePlanner include: • Changes in the way log and audit data are stored, in order to protect a data subject’s right to be forgotten.


• The anonymisation process will remove Personally Identifiable Information (PII) from client data on request, thereby allowing clients to analyse historic data without infringing the data subject’s rights. • Compliance measures will allow clients to be provided with vital support for handling data subject access requests.


SeaRoc Group, providers


of the SitePlanner system, consider client data protection to be of critical importance and are setting the highest standards of data protection that represents a fundamental best–practice for all of clients and users of its SitePlanner software.


Chess makes a double acquisition


Chess, one of the UK’s leading technology solutions providers, is delighted to announce the acquisition of two businesses in the communications technology sector, Frontier Voice & Data (‘Frontier) and StoneHouse Logic (‘StoneHouse’). Frontier has helped around 2,000 businesses realise their


growth ambitions. For more than 30 years it has worked with customers across the UK, providing business-grade telecoms solutions. Chess identified Frontier as a business that is aligned with its own strategic and cultural goals, which will help with the migration process. StoneHouse supports its customers in maximising their


productivity and profitability by providing IT systems, services and software. It is recognised by Microsoft as a Gold Certified Partner and a Sage Strategic Business Partner. The two acquisitions will bring more than 2,200 customers and an additional £7.2m in revenues. Chess has made 100 acquisitions and continues to carefully


select companies, judging businesses that will enhance its product portfolio and add people and expertise to its growing team.


Chess Founder and Chief Executive, David Pollock,


commented: ‘We’re delighted to have made these two acquisitions in the space of one month. Frontier and StoneHouse are businesses that have built reputations for quality in their respective markets. Technically and culturally, we see these two acquisitions as a great fit. We are very much looking forward to welcoming their people and their customers to the Chess family.’


Frontier Managing Director, Peter Southgate, commenting on


the acquisition, said, ‘The cultural, organisational and business fit of the two companies is perfect. I’m delighted that Chess see the acquisition of Frontier as such a key step on their growth journey. Being part of a much larger business brings new opportunities, supplier choice, expertise and skills in a wide range of technology disciplines to our customers and partners’. StoneHouse Managing Director, Mark Hope, said, ‘The


strong business and cultural synergies between StoneHouse and Chess became apparent early in the sale process and this alignment presents real growth potential. With a great pedigree and a broader portfolio of products and solutions, Chess is the ideal home for our customers and employees – they’re in safe hands with Chess.’
