On March 3, the UK’s Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) announced its approval of the fourth set of UK GDPR Certification scheme, aimed at providing requirements for providers processing personal data in relation to providing training and qualifications to individuals.

The previously approved schemes cover data processing activity of:

1. Data sanitisation of storage media service, including all systems and processing relating to ICT asset recovery

2. Age assurance, such as service providers for proof-of-age ID, age check, electronic ID validation, and analytical and profiling services

3. Information society services, in the context of the application of the Code of Practice for the Age Appropriate Design of Information Society Services (referred to generally as the “Children’s Code”)
